ABS has recently completed a new technology qualification of a Compact Molten Salt Reactor (CMSR) developed by Danish company Seaborg Technologies. The concept was found to satisfy the Feasibility Stage, the first milestone in the ABS New Technology Qualification (NTQ) process.
Once the design is matured and the technology is approved, it is intended to be installed on power barges to provide electric power to shore for use in the electric grid or hydrogen production. The first power barges are planned to have two reactors installed delivering 2x100MWe for the 24-year lifetime of the power barge.
