The world’s simplest nuclear reactor has been approved: Zero-emission heat plants on the way

The LDR-50 model, developed in Finland and introduced as the “world’s simplest nuclear reactor,” has been welcomed by the country’s radiation safety authority. The small modular reactor (SMR) concept designed by Steady Energy has been found to have the potential to meet Finland’s nuclear safety standards.

Approval granted, zero-emission heat plants targeted

The Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) has subjected Steady Energy’s LDR-50 reactor design to a comprehensive preliminary assessment. Although not mandatory under current laws, this process, initiated at the company’s own request, aims to comply with future regulations. As a result of the assessment, it was stated that the LDR-50 can be developed in line with current safety requirements.

The next assessment process will take place internationally. Regulatory authorities from different countries will conduct their own analyses based on the work conducted by STUK.

The company will next test the reactor’s main safety systems in a full-scale pilot plant. This facility will be built inside a former coal-fired power plant in the Salmisaari area of ​​Helsinki. However, the pilot reactor will not contain nuclear fuel. The aim is to demonstrate the maturity and safety of the technology.

Unlike other small modular reactors, the LDR-50 is designed to generate heat only, not electricity. With a capacity of 50 MW, the system can provide heat at up to 150°C. This heat can be used in areas such as city heating systems, steam supply for industry and seawater desalination.

Featuring a simplified pressurized water reactor design, the LDR-50 operates at much lower pressure than traditional nuclear reactors. This aims to significantly reduce construction costs and provide competitive production.

The company says the reactors provide a carbon-neutral heat source and that a few units can heat a medium-sized city in all weather conditions. The level of heat production can be provided at a cost of 40 euros (approximately $42.3) per MWh. Moreover, this investment is at a level that can be financed by a single energy company without any government subsidies. Steady Energy aims to bring the LDR-50 reactors to the commercial market by 2030. By this time, full-scale production and the expansion of zero-emission heat plants are planned.
