B&W: Scalable, Practical Nuclear Energy

bwBabcock and Wilcox (B&W), a leading provider of advanced nuclear energy technology, has announced the release of the mPower reactor. The technology is a scalable, modular system that will allow the production of nuclear reactors in factories, therefore removing the need to construct a nuclear plant. The reactors themselves can then be shipped to construction sites. This solution, which will save time and cut costs, will generate roughly 500 megawatts (about half of what a nuclear plant would generate). See below for images and the official press release.
