From the publication:
A Future Energy Solution U-battery Local Modular Energy Introducing U-Battery U-Battery is an advanced/small modular reactor, capable of providing a low-carbon, cost-effective, locally embedded and reliable source of power and heat for energy-intensive industries and remote locations. It has the potential to drive significant economic benefits through commercialisation and deployment in global markets. The conceptual design was developed by the Universities of Manchester (UK) and Delft (Netherlands) after the project was initiated by Urenco, a global leader in the nuclear industry. U-Battery has always been a commercially-focussed, market-led development, intended to compete with other non-nuclear options. U-Battery’s unique concept enables a shorter development timeframe, and a low-cost, low-risk design and licensing process. Its modular design allows quality assurance and testing to occur during the manufacturing stage, while minimising civil construction times, reducing construction risk and financing costs, and easing transportation to global customers. With the combined support of Urenco and other consortium partners, U-Battery presents a unique blend of economic, industrial and environmental opportunities, and a viable energy solution for the low-carbon economy. The strategic goal is to have a first-of-a-kind U-Battery operating by 2028.
