TerraPraxis and Danish floating nuclear power plant developer Seaborg have agreed to assess Seaborg's Compact Molten Salt Reactor (CMSR) as a potential heat source to support the rapid decarbonisation of the global coal fleet.
TerraPraxis and Seaborg have agreed to assess Seaborg's CMSR as a potential heat source. The companies noted that many coal power plants are located close to industrial water courses or oceans providing direct site access for Seaborg's floating power barge.
"Seaborg wishes to participate in TerraPraxis' Repowering Coal and provide engineering services in-kind to investigate more fully with TerraPraxis the techno-economic feasibility of integrating Seaborg's CMSR with existing coal-fired power plants," said Jonas Stampe, Chief Business Officer at Seaborg.
