For any energy source to make a worthwhile difference in decarbonizing the global economy, it has to be the most affordable option. Our design is driven by economics and market requirements to achieve scalable implementation.

​

Key insights that have influenced the technical parameters include:

• Cost is driven by speed of construction, irrespective of reactor technology

• Using the standardized industrial supply chain de-risks licensing, skills, materials 

• 100 MWe fits within infrastructure constraints of most existing electricity markets 

 

OPEN100 replicates key aspects of the most successful past nuclear deployments and right-sizes these designs to match these parameters without adding any complexity. Below you will find a detailed economics and comparison to standard PWR finances.
