Too late, too expensive, too risky and too uncertain. That, in a nutshell, describes NuScale’s planned small modular reactor project. 🧵(1/9) #nuclear #energytwitter #nuclearcosts
Communities and utilities are being lured to buy electricity from NuScale’s planned #nuclear reactor at the promise of a relatively low price of $58/MWh. But that’s only an estimate—and a flawed one at that. via @pfannyyy (2/9) postregister.com/news/inl/easte…
The #UAMPS power sales agreement for this nuclear project is essentially a blank check. Buyers who stick with the project will be on the hook for the actual costs and expenses of building and operating the reactor, which we predict will far exceed $58/MWh. @SmartEnergy1 (3/9) 
🤓the nuclear power sector is hoping for a revival with the advent of "small modular reactors".
@NuScale_Power is arguably the closest to a commercial #SMR product, but is also providing a clear example of the challenging and long road ahead for the sector.

.@NuScale_Power aims to reverse trend of increasing nuclear project costs by utilising:
• passive safety systems / simpler design — safely do away with several expensive systems
• modular, factory fabricated reactors — capturing economics of factory manufacturing / repetition

in 2015 @NuScale_Power signed up a first customer, #UAMPS, to build a nuclear power plant near idaho falls for a 2024 delivery.
UAMPS @SmartEnergy1 is a consortium of community-owned (ie. municipal) power systems in the “intermountain west” of the US: utah & neighbouring states.
