For the avoidance of doubt, while a BWRX-300 reactor is now under construction in Canada, it has only progressed to the point of building a shed where parts of the reactor will be put together.

GE Vernova promise that the plant will be exporting electricity in 2030 – we shall see.

Holtec will build a pair of their 300 MW pressurized water reactors at Palisades, MI (which they're also getting loan guarantee support and grant funds to restart) and TVA + GE Hitachi will build a pair of their BWRx-300 MW reactors at Clinch River, TN (which they're also building in Ontario).

There are also water cooled concepts like NUWARD or NUSCALE, but they are becoming bigger and bigger. BWRX in Canada has 300 MW. Rolls Royce in GB 470.

Auf SMR-Seite wird viel über den einen abgebrochenen NuScale-Reaktor geschrieben, aber ignoriert, dass z.B. für den BWRX-300 in Kanada die eigentlichen Bauarbeiten schon in diesem Jahr beginnen sollen (die Geländevorbereitung ist schon abgeschlossen).

Canada’s nuclear safety regulator has recommended that the country’s first new power reactor in decades should receive the go-ahead to begin construction of a BWRX-300 327-megawatt nuclear reactor.

The application received unequivocal support from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission staff.
Construction of Ontario nuclear reactor should move forward despite incomplete design, regulator says
The small modular reactor would be the first built in a G7 country and among the first globally – although its output would exceed the informal 300-megawatt cutoff for SMRs

The BWRX-300 is an American design and will involve ongoing purchase of support services from them. It requires LEU fuel, and because we have no enrichment facilities, the likely source is the US. This is more dependence on them, not less.

GE Vernova plans for small nuclear plants across the developed world
] GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy's BWRX-300 small modular reactor incorporates proven components. Courtesy: GE Verona GE Vernova is aiming to deploy small nuclear reactors across the developed world over the next decade, staking out a leadership position in a budding technology that could play a central role in meeting surging electricity demand and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The company's small modular reactor, or SMR, is designed to reduce the cost of building new nuclear plants, said Nicole Holmes, chief commercial officer at GE Vernova's nuclear unit GE Hitachi.
