The mPower Integrated System Test (IST) facility is being built at the Center for Advanced Engineering and Research (CAER), currently being constructed at the New London Business and Technology Center. The facility is not far from B&amp;W\u2019s headquarters in Lynchburg.<\/p>\n<p>The three-year test program will collect data to verify the reactor design and safety performance in support of B&amp;W\u2019s licensing activities with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). B&amp;W expects the facility to begin testing activities later this summer. Once testing concludes, the company anticipates using the facility for on-going training of utility workers who would be operating mPower reactors.<\/p>\n<p>Christofer Mowry, president of B&amp;W Nuclear Energy, commented, \u201cB&amp;W is pleased to receive continued support from the Virginia Tobacco Commission and CAER as we establish a world-class testing facility in Bedford County.\u201d He added, \u201cThis facility will play a vitally important role in testing, licensing activities and demonstrating the maturity of the design for the B&amp;W mPower reactor, while strengthening Central Virginia\u2019s reputation as a premier region for innovation in nuclear technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the second grant the Virginia TICRC has awarded for design and construction of B&amp;W\u2019s IST facility. In July 2010, B&amp;W announced a $2.4\u00a0million grant from the commission to support construction. The additional $5\u00a0million is designated for process equipment to support operation of a scaled prototype of the mPower reactor. B&amp;W said that while all the technical features of the mPower integral reactor are included in the IST the source of heat for testing is electric rather than nuclear.<\/p>\n<p>B&amp;W and Bechtel have entered into a formal alliance to design, license and deploy B&amp;W\u2019s mPower design, a 125\u00a0MWe modular reactor. Under the alliance\u00a0\u2014 to be known as Generation mPower\u00a0\u2014 B&amp;W will focus on designing and testing the nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) and nuclear island, including the design certification application development and submission, and NSSS production. Bechtel will complement these responsibilities with integrated engineering and project management leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Babcock &amp; Wilcox (B&amp;W) has received a $5\u00a0million grant for its new test facility in Bedford County, Virginia, to support licensing activities for its mPower small, modular reactor design.
