Jacopo Buongiorno, a nuclear engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says the NuScale design has an Achilles’ heel.
Each reactor’s core resides within a double-walled steel cylinder, with a vacuum between the walls to keep heat from leaking out.
The reactor modules sit in a big pool of water, which in an emergency can flood into the vacuum space around a reactor to prevent it overheating.
Compared with a conventional reactor’s building, the pool requires more reinforced concrete, the price of which has soared, Buongiorno says.
“In terms of tons of reinforced concrete per megawatt of power, NuScale’s design is off the chart.”
