Interesting update here. At first I thought delay was due to NRC view on helical stream generator, but looks like it& #39;s because owners wanting to use dry cooling. Side note, I wonder if this is also cause of extra & #39;owners costs& #39; that some have mentioned recently https://twitter.com/djysrv/status/1294245252988051459">https://twitter.com/djysrv/st...

For those who don& #39;t know, dry cooling is much more expensive than wet cooling. And I suspect this & #39;dry condensing& #39; may be more expensive than standard (passive) cooling towers. https://www.nei.org/news/2020/nuclear-solution-for-climate-energy-water">https://www.nei.org/news/2020...

It& #39;s basically awesome that they want to add this to the NuScale UAMPS project. Can see it helping to open up more off grid applications for SMRs. But it won& #39;t get you the cheapest price, and is unlikely to be standard for all future projects - especially on-grid ones
