South Korean power industrial giant Doosan has agreed to forge materials for NuScale Power’s small modular reactors (SMR) starting as early as this year to support the commercial deployment of VOYGRs at the 462-MWe Carbon-Free Power Project (CFPP) in Idaho Falls. NuScale separately also teamed with American large component forging firms to boost its U.S. supply chain planning as it approaches near-term commercialization of the NuScale Power Modules (NPM).
Under the agreement signed with NuScale on April 25, Doosan Enerbility Co.—a Doosan subsidiary known until March 2022 as Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction—will begin full-scale equipment manufacturing of forging dies for NuScale’s upper reactor pressure vessel “by the latter half of 2023.”
