SMR STAR — Small Modular Reactor and micro-NPP
SMR STAR is a 35 MWth / 10 MWe small modular nuclear reactor designed for safe, reliable and affordable clean energy. Developed through international cooperation and fully aligned with IAEA safety standards, SMR STAR is engineered for rapid deployment, high autonomy, and long refuelling intervals of 10 years.
Star Energy Vietnam, together with its global partners, is preparing the deployment of the first-of-a-kind SMR STAR unit in Vietnam as part of a long-term national strategy for clean baseload energy, industrial heat and regional electrification.
Our mission is to deliver a compact, cost-effective and inherently safe nuclear solution tailored for Vietnam and the world market — enabling sustainable development, industrial growth and energy independence.
SMR STAR (Small Modular Reactor — STAR) is a 35 MWth / 10 MWe Pressurized-Tube Water Reactor (PTWR) featuring:
- Fully passive safety systems
- Underground containment
- No-pressure vessel
- Long refuelling cycle (10 years)
- Design lifetime of 60 years
- OPEX ≤ 1.5% of CAPEX per year
The technology is based on well-proven water-cooled reactor principles and engineering solutions developed according to:
— IAEA SSR-2/1 Rev.1, SSR-4, GSR Part 2
— ISO 19443 and ASME NQA-1 quality systems
— Vietnamese TCVN/QCVN standards
The FOAK unit will serve as a reference design for large-scale deployment.
