VOYGR Power Plants
The Future of Nuclear
VOYGR™ SMR plants are powered by our innovative NuScale Power Module™, the first and only small modular reactor (SMR) to receive design approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The NuScale Power Module design is based on proven pressurized water-cooled reactor technology, and was developed to supply energy for electrical generation, district heating, desalination, commercial-scale hydrogen production and other process heat applications.
VOYGR Plant Models
VOYGR-12
The VOYGR-12 SMR plant can generate 924 MWe on as little as 0.06 square miles*, compared to 94 square miles for wind and 17 square miles for solar. This makes it an ideal option for generating carbon-free power in locations with space constraints, such as retired coal plant sites. The VOYGR-12's always-on capabilities also make it an attractive solution as an emergency power source. Following a catastrophic loss of infrastructure, a VOYGR-12 can power a mission critical facility micro-grid at 154 MWe for 12 years without new fuel.

Product Overview
| Generating Capacity | 924 MWe (77 MWe per module) |
|---|---|
| Capacity Factor | >95 percent |
| Module Dimensions | 76' x 15' cylindrical containment vessel with reactor and steam generator |
| Module Weight | ~700 tons in total are shipped from the factory in three segments via truck, rail, or barge |
| Fuel | Standard LWR fuel in a 17 x 17 configuration, each assembly 2 meters (~ 6 ft.) in length |
| Refueling Cycle | Up to 21 months with fuel enriched at less than 5 percent |
VOYGR-6
A VOYGR-6 SMR plant is an affordable option for transitioning to carbon-free energy generation. When coupled to a 230,000 barrels per day refinery, a VOYGR-6 can eliminate approximately 40% of overall plant emissions (175 MT/hr reduction in CO2). Scale up to a 12-module plant as capacity needs increase.
Product Overview
| Generating Capacity | 462 MWe (77 MWe per module) |
|---|---|
| Capacity Factor | >95 percent |
| Module Dimensions | 76' x 15' cylindrical containment vessel with reactor and steam generator |
| Module Weight | ~700 tons in total are shipped from the factory in three segments via truck, rail, or barge |
| Fuel | Standard LWR fuel in a 17 x 17 configuration, each assembly 2 meters (~ 6 ft.) in length |
| Refueling Cycle | Up to 21 months with fuel enriched at less than 5 percent |
VOYGR-4
For lower generating capacity needs, the VOYGR-4 SMR plant is a small, but powerful solution. When coupled to a desalination plant, a VOYGR-4 can provide all of the water necessary for a city the size of Cape Town, South Africa (4.6 million people). Easily scale up to a 6- or 12-module plant as your capacity requirements increase.
Product Overview
| Generating Capacity | 308 MWe (77 MWe per module) |
