B&W mPower plan at TVA's Clinch River site (2013-2017)
Historical proposal. Under a February 2013 contract, TVA, Babcock & Wilcox and Generation mPower were preparing an NRC licence application for up to four B&W mPower SMRs at TVA's Clinch River site, with DOE cost sharing under an April 2013 cooperative agreement. The consortium shelved the mPower project in March 2017. TVA's BWRX-300 project at the same site is a separate record; this historical plan is not separately pinned.
