Deep Atomic (ENS Corporate Member) officially announces that it has entered the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Pre-Application Process for Design Certification of its flagship MK60 Small Modular Reactor (SMR).

The engagement with the NRC’s design certification process will help inform final design adjustments and ensure the MK60 meets all U.S. safety and licensing requirements.

The MK60 SMR uses pressurised light water reactor technology, and is designed to produce 60 MW of electricity and 60 MW of cooling.

The company aims to deploy the first MK60 units by the end of this decade, addressing the surge in energy demand from cloud providers, artificial intelligence (AI) clusters, and other high-performance computing applications with a sustainable, on-site power and cooling solution.

We are looking forward to working collaboratively with the NRC to ensure a transparent, efficient, and thorough review process throughout all stages of the licensing process
