Bloomberg reported (via Interesting Engineering) that Blykalla has already agreed to join forces with Germany’s Uniper SE to develop a new advanced small modular reactor design that could greatly benefit Europe. Blykalla is known for its specialty in developing advanced SMRs, and the pair would be joined by the Swedish Modular Reactors AB whichwould build the said reactors.
According to the report, the three-way partnership would center on Blykalla’s work on developing a “first-of-its-kind” lead-cooled SMR, with the concept now looking towards a safe and responsible use of it. This latest project will also be a massive stepping stone for Blykalla and its reactor development to ask for further approval that it plans to complete by the end of the year.
