Gadsden secures first commercial micro-modular reactor assembly plant, bringing hundreds of jobs.

Seattle-based Ultra Safe Nuclear Corp. (USNC) will build a $232 million assembly plant in Gadsden, Alabama, to manufacture about 10 non-radiological micro-modular reactors (MMRs) a year. The MMRs are a nuclear energy system that delivers safe, clean, and cost-effective electricity. The reactors don’t use water, don’t require an electrical grid or infrastructure support, and can be used in virtually any climate. The plant will employ 250 professional and technical workers and have a $100 million economic impact. The facility will be operational by 2027 and will be the first plant of its kind in the world.
