Westinghouse announced the launch of a small version of its flagship AP1000 nuclear reactor on Thursday.
The new reactor, called the AP300, aims to be available in 2027, and will generate about a third of the power as the flagship AP1000 reactor, enough to power about 300,000 homes.
It’s expected to cost about $1 billion to set up each plant, a small fraction of the expense of the full AP1000.
