Holtec and Mitsubishi Electric partnering to advance SMR-160 small modular reactor program

Green Car Congress

Developed by Holte, the SMR-160 is a small modular reactor designed to produce 160 megawatts of electricity using low-enriched uranium fuel. Fuel is protected by airplane crash resistant containment and by a missile shield over the spent fuel pool that is inside the containment. An SMR-160 installation takes up less than 4.5

Ricardo investigating potential for its split-cycle engine in large engine market

Green Car Congress

In a poster-session paper presented at CIMAC Congress 2016 in Finland, Ricardo described the use of this split-cycle concept in high- and medium-speed engines for power generation to achieve efficiencies of 60% from units of 1–30 MW mechanical output. CCGT units of > 250 MW are achieving 55-60% brake thermal efficiency (BTE) at full load.
