Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Energy, Inc., (B&W NE) and Bechtel Power Corporation have entered into a formal alliance to design, license and deploy the world's first commercially viable Generation III++ small modular nuclear power plant.
Based on B&W mPower™ small modular reactor (SMR) technology, this new alliance, to be known as Generation mPower, brings together two recognized and established energy industry leaders in engineering, manufacturing and construction. Both Bechtel and B&W are making a substantial commitment in forming Generation mPower.
As a more practical clean energy option for power generation, the 125 megawatt B&W mPower SMR development program underway for the past two years has already gained wide recognition for its substantial electric utility involvement, cost competitiveness and innovative design.
