Assessing Site and Distribution Infrastructure from Transitioning a Thermal Power Plant to an SMR
Project Overview Funded through ERA’s Reshaping Energy Systems Challenge in 2024, X‐energy performed a pre-front-end engineering design (FEED) study to assess the feasibility of repurposing a fossil‐fueled power plant site for a nuclear reactor power plant. The study evaluates infrastructure, compatibility with a future hybrid grid and social considerations to understand the implications of first
