The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on July 31 accepted a standard design approval (SDA) application for NuScale Power’s VOYGR-6, a plant design that will be featured in the 462-MWe Carbon-Free Power Project (CFPP) proposed at an Idaho National Laboratory (INL) site.
The milestone comes on the same day that CFPP submitted a limited work authorization (LWA) to the NRC, seeking approval to begin early construction activities as the first part of the project’s combined license application (COLA).
