Status: CONCEPTUAL_DESIGN Category: SMR Country: Canada Canada Vendor/Designer: starcore-nuclear Type: Molten salt reactor [Molten salt reactor](/library/wiki/technologies/Molten salt reactor) Capacity: 36 MWe
Overview
The STARCORE MSR is a conceptual small modular reactor (SMR) design by Starcore Nuclear, based in Canada. It represents an innovative approach to civilian nuclear power with a focus on molten salt reactor technology, aiming to provide a scalable 36 MWe net capacity for remote or off-grid communities. As it remains in the conceptual design phase, there is no operational history or specific site location available.
