The mission of Advanced Reactor Concepts (ARC) is to commercialize a disruptive new technology for power generation in the form of an advanced small modular nuclear reactor.
In July 2018, ARC announced an agreement to work with New Brunswick (NB) PowerNB) Power and its affiliates to explore commercialization of the ARC-100 in New Brunswick, Canada, starting at NB Power’s Point Lepreau nuclear plant site and thereafter at other sites in Canada and worldwide.
In March 2017, GE Hitachi Nuclear EnergyGE Hitachi Nuclear Energy and ARC announced a collaboration to develop and license the ARC-100 with initial deployment in Canada. The companies will pursue a preliminary regulatory review by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission through its Vendor Design Review process.
The ARC-100 is based on technology proven by over 30 years of the successful operation of the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II). The EBR-II was operated by the US governmentUS government's Argonne National Laboratory in Idaho as a very successful test and demonstration of sodium-cooled fast-reactor power plant.
