16 Dec Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Hanford Site Analysis Final Report

On March 6, 2014, the state of Washington awarded a grant to the Tri-City Development Council (TRIDEC) to study the Hanford Site as a possible location to construct one of the nation’s initial small modular reactor (SMR). This study explores the feasibility of redeploying existing assets at Hanford to realize potential cost savings from current Hanford operations, which can offset the high costs of licensing and constructing an initial SMR on the site.The study concluded that siting an SMR generating station at Hanford is technically feasible and many benefits come from using the existing infrastructure, local nuclear workforce, and other regional assets. Siting SMRs at Hanford will require a close partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), state of Washington, and regional utilities and power planners.
