First-of-a-kind boron-based component adds a safety layer to 77 MW small reactor

NuScale Power has developed a novel boron oxide pellet component to enhance the safety of its 77 MW small modular reactor (SMR), adding an innovative safety layer. This first-of-its-kind technology aims to improve nuclear reactor safety through advanced materials that absorb neutrons more effectively.
