Factory to Site: How Industrialized Micro Modular Reactors Can Deliver Clean, Reliable Power

Boreal Energy Systems addresses North America’s exponential electricity demand growth through factory-built micromodular reactors that deliver 1-5 megawatts of clean power with dramatically compressed deployment timelines. The solution tackles critical infrastructure gaps where traditional nuclear plants require decade-plus delivery while data centers, transportation electrification, and hydrogen production drive unprecedented demand growth, creating a fundamental mismatch between grid connectivity (2-3 years) and generation capacity (4+ years for conventional sources). These passive, low-enriched uranium reactors utilize complete modularization of civil works, thermal conversion systems, and balance-of-plant components, enabling factory assembly, transportation via standard shipping methods, and site installation within 12-18 months compared to 5-9 years for SMRs. The approach transforms complex site construction into assembly-to-order processes using pre-cast foundations, advanced composite panels, and palletized modules, while remote operations eliminate on-site security requirements and enable 15-year fuel cycles with reactor replacement capability for 60-year facility lifetimes.
