Ansys (ANSS - Free Report) announced that its simulation solutions are being leveraged by a leading nuclear technology company — NuScale Power. Ansys will help NuScale Power to develop the NPM, which is the first Small Modular Reactor (SMR) approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
This collaboration will assist NuScale Power in designing an SMR that can generate carbon-free energy for various applications like electricity, district heating, water desalination, and commercial-scale hydrogen production. NuScale has leveraged Ansys' thermal and structural analysis tools to develop an innovative passive safety system ensuring automatic shutdown and self-cooling without human intervention or power sources.
NuScale has engineered its design to address safety concerns, which enables utilities to use the pre-approved product for licensing new nuclear power plants. NuScale aims to deploy this technology in the United States and Europe by the decade's end and contribute to global advancements in nuclear energy and other sustainable solutions.
Ansys develops and globally markets engineering simulation software and services widely used by engineers, designers, researchers and students across a spectrum of industries and academia.
