☢️it doesn't help the nuclear power 'debate' that the industry can be very "loose with the truth".
eg. 1: @NuScale_Power gives clear impression its product is available now — though it won't be fully licensed before 2024/5, with pilot plant *maybe* 2030.

eg. 2: @SmartEnergy1 claims that the nuscale modules in their proposed #CFPP project have flexibility to ramp up/down to complement renewables — yet project investors have been advised recent design choices limit load following capability.
eg. 3: @SmartEnergy1 claims the LCoE of their #CFPP project is US$58/MWh… neglecting to mention that this is a *target* assuming a $1.4bn grant, PTC subsidy and concessional finance.
real cost will likely be closer to $85/MWh, maybe higher.

🧵 many #nuclear hopes are riding on small modular reactors.
@NuScale_Power's #SMR is closest to market. customer for pilot plant is a group of utilities, herded by @SmartEnergy1.
in july only 213 of 720MW (30%) was subscribed.
subscriptions have since dropped to 104MW (14%)…

of the 36 towns in #nuscale's pilot project, the "carbon free power project" #CFPP:
• 8 towns have withdrawn entirely
• 24 reduced their share entitlement
• 3 maintained identical entitlement
• 1 joined (token level).

with the planned 12 module plant undersubscribed, #nuscale is now looking at downsizing to either 4 or 6 modules.
counteracting this fall of subscriptions, nuscale has uprated modules from 60MWe to 77MWe each.
as such, nuscale now has 33% subscriptions for a 4 module plant…
