The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has decided, with little input from the campus community and absolutely no input from the wider Champaign County community, to take on a vanity-driven project: to be the first university to commission a nuclear microreactor. Residents of Champaign County should soundly reject this reckless and dangerous project. The plan to build a nuclear power plant on campus has been sold as a shortcut to meeting campus carbon reduction goals. (You will notice that the original document does not call for nuclear power.) University administration needs a shortcut because they are unable to conserve adequately, continue to build less-than-energy-efficient buildings, and maintain operating the energy-gobbling Petascale facility, to name a few reasons.

Synthos Green Energy has announced the completion of a deployment feasibility study for the implementation of a fleet of GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy BWRX-300 small modular reactors in Poland. The study, which was prepared by Exelon Generation, will help the Synthos Group estimate how many reactors would need to be built to make the most of the cost effect of serial SMR production.

The feasibility study covers the analysis of key aspects of SMR technology implementation, including cost issues, personnel policy, regulatory and security issues, construction models and operational issues. It is a very important step in Synthos s implementation of its project to introduce SMR technology on the Polish market, Synthos Green Energy CEO Rafał Kasprów said. The document will be the basis for creating an accurate roadmap for the whole project, he added.
