Why does the World Need this Solution?

An increasing demand for electric power in remote, island and hard-to-reach regions, that are not sufficiently covered by supergrids and power distribution lines

Low capital expenditures as compared to large capacity NPPs.

In certain cases, SMR are expected to compete with traditional generation sources

Specifications

Unique Design Features

Modularity and Size: The STAR project utilizes the core principles of SMRs, focusing on a smaller, more manageable size compared to traditional reactors. This modularity allows for easier transportation and assembly, reducing overall project timelines and costs

Uniquely small nominal electric power output: 10 MW. Together with its small size and weight, this significantly expands the application range of the reactor and reduces the need for power lines

Innovative Core Design: The reactor features a unique core desig. n that optimizes the use of nuclear fuel and enhances safety

Advanced Safety Systems: One of the key aspects of the STAR project is its emphasis on safety. The design incorporates multiple passive safety systems, which rely on natural physical principles to ensure reactor stability, reducing the need for active interventions.

Technological Advancements

Enhanced Fuel Efficiency

The STAR reactor is engineered to maximize fuel efficiency, offering longer operation periods between refueling – 10 years. This efficiency not only lowers operational costs but also minimizes nuclear waste

Adaptability: The reactor can be adapted for various applications beyond electricity generation, including industrial heat production and desalination, demonstrating its versatility

Operational Capabilities

Scalable Power Output: The STAR project is designed to cater to a range of power demands, making it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale energy needs

Long Operational Life: With a design that emphasizes durability and longevity, the STAR reactor is built to operate for 60 years, providing a stable energy source
