- None.
In partnership with GS Energy, Doosan Enerbility, and Samsung C&T, this Energy Exploration Center control room simulator will provide hands-on nuclear experience for future operators of NuScale’s innovative small modular reactor technology worldwide.
The E2 Center is an innovative learning environment that offers users a hands-on opportunity to apply nuclear science and engineering principles through simulated, real-world nuclear power plant operation scenarios. Through state-of-the-art computer modeling, visitors will take on the role of “control room operators” at a VOYGR™-12, 924 megawatts electric (MWe), SMR plant powered by 12 NuScale Power Modules™ to learn about the advanced features and functionality of NuScale’s technology.
The deepening partnership between NuScale and Korean energy industry leaders will help Korean companies advance their SMR capabilities significantly, which could lead to exports of Korean-supported SMRs in the future.
“NuScale’s groundbreaking SMRs are years ahead of the global competition as the only advanced nuclear technology with
The establishment of a NuScale E2 Center at Seoul National University will play a pivotal role in South Korea’s pursuit of their clean energy objectives. Through the hands-on learning experience provided by the E2 Center, South Korean nuclear experts and technologists will be equipped with the knowledge needed to ensure the safe operation of a NuScale VOYGR SMR power plant control room. This collaboration further underscores the increasing global support of NuScale’s SMR technology as the premier solution to advance the clean energy transition.
“The E2 Center provides our students with an unrivaled opportunity to engage in hands-on SMR operations, cultivating the expertise essential for leading the global clean energy transition,” said Professor Eung Soo Kim, Head of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Seoul National University. “We are proud to be the first institution in
