You need a cooling pool and a generator. That thing does not exist on its own and the only thing it puts out is steam in a closed loop.
Excuse me?

The rods will fall automatically if power is lost.
And there are other safeguards built around the coolant in the reactor itself. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

Decent pr page
https://www.nuscalepower.com/technology/technology-overview I was doing some reading a few days ago and it showed it at a large scale plant which included it needed to be immersed in a pool of coolant. Can't find that now. |

I saw that, or one like it
The point was that site selection, design and prep becomes lots easier, then you truck in the pre-built reactors (plural) and set them up in the pool. Some existing generator sites could be converted, reusing the existing distribution infrastructure. -- Drew |
