- Prodigy Clean Energy and Lloyd’s Register team up on transportable nuclear power plants with Canadian government support.
- The project aims to deploy small modular reactors in remote areas.
- The collaboration focuses on setting global guidelines for floating nuclear power plants.
Prodigy Clean Energy and Lloyd’s Register (LR) announced a collaboration to complete the development of lifecycle requirements for Prodigy’s Transportable Nuclear Power Plants (TNPPs) to drive deployment in Canada by 2030, reads a Lloyd’s Register release.
Deal for transportable nuclear power plants
Partially funded by a (CAD) $2,750,000 Government of Canada award to Prodigy under the Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) Enabling Small Modular Reactor (SMRs) programme, this project will produce models for TNPP marine fabrication, marine transport and centralised decommissioning.
Prodigy and LR expect this collaboration to demonstrate how a country can manufacture, deploy, operate and decommission transportable and floating nuclear power plant technologies without making major changes to sovereign regulatory frameworks.
“In a world where demand for more nuclear generation is surging, Prodigy’s transportable nuclear facilities are emerging as missing puzzle pieces to mass customise SMR new builds. The development of our lifecycle requirements has progressed significantly over the past two years, and will benefit greatly from LR’s experience and recommendations,” said Mathias Trojer, President and CEO of Prodigy Clean Energy.
