Adjustable turnbuckle couplings align the suspended basket assembly, eliminating external penetrations that increase coolant loss risk during refueling.
Relocating hydraulic connections through the tank wall eliminates complex cover seals, reducing maintenance time.
A self-pressurizing light water reactor design eliminates pressurizers by utilizing natural circulation of primary coolant at saturation pressure.
A shutdown cooling heat exchanger circulates water through a steam generator secondary path to remove reactor decay heat.
Integrating power conversion and passive cooling inside a single vessel reduces plant footprint while ensuring decay heat removal during extreme conditions.
