Powerful Clean energy

The largest consumers of electricity are the energy-intensive industries. To create energy for heavy industry, the ARC-100 provides a large amount of energy and high-temperature steam and power in a small space, through its ability to transfer heat quickly and its liquid sodium coolant.

The ARC-100 is also ideal for heavy industry as it operates in modular units and can provide for both electrical and thermal needs. The ARC-100’s modular design increases efficiency and lowers the cost of repairs. It also allows for specific size selection of the reactors. The ARC-100 generates 286MW of thermal energy and 100 MW of electrical energy, and provides direct superheated steam at 450 ℃  which can be increased to 850 ℃ with topping heat.

High-temperature output

ARC-100’s high-temperature output can replace current fossil fuels by providing the same amount of energy in a smaller space and with no emissions. The successful deployment of the ARC technology at Belledune provides a model for industrial decarbonization through nuclear energy for Canada, the U.S., and the rest of the world.

Economic benefits

With the economic benefits of a short payback time, ease of scalability, and investment management through modular reactors, the ARC-100 can provide high-quality electricity and heat for industries such as hydrogen generation, water desalination, synthetic fuel production, mining, and refining.
