If you look at the progress at the CNSC, then NuScale appears to be one year ahead. The IMSR should finish the second phase in October 2020.
Terrestrial Energy plans to have the first commercial plant on the grid in the next decade.
- baking 7y agoI don't know enough about the process to make comparisons, but NuScale currently expects to be producing grid power in 2026. Nothing against Terrestrial Energy or molten salt reactors which is certainly an interesting tech. NuScale is about as boring as all get-out and might face fewer regulatory hurdles, but it might also have a harder time competing against better tech.
