Built for today. Planned for tomorrow.
BRIDGE POWER
A complete power project. A longer-term plan.
Bridge Power is FANCO’s standalone generation approach, initially using dedicated boilers to supply steam to a conventional turbine-generator. It allows customers to pursue near-term power delivery while planning for a future nuclear heat source.
Rather than waiting for the reactor before beginning site development, FANCO begins with your required capacity, operating profile, reliability needs and target schedule. Site conditions, fuel supply, permitting and utility or behind-the-meter partner relationships shape the project from the outset.
FANCO brings development, engineering, construction coordination and operations into one turnkey approach, with project financing where appropriate. The objective is a complete power solution that lets customers focus on their business. The result is a project that can begin addressing near-term energy demand while building toward long-term nuclear generation.
Begin generating power and revenue sooner
During the BRIDGE POWER phase, commercially available systems supply steam to a conventional turbine-generator system. This allows the site to begin producing electricity while EAGL-1 advances through engineering, licensing, manufacturing, and deployment.
Importantly, BRIDGE POWER uses conventional equipment while the same site, infrastructure, and conventional island are designed from the outset with the planned nuclear transition in mind and most importantly, EAGL-1 was designed for this.
By developing the site and major balance-of-plant infrastructure early, it’s possible to establish an operating energy asset rather than leaving capital committed to a site that produces no revenue during the nuclear development period.
Standalone does not always mean off-grid. Bridge Power is developed around the customer’s load and partner relationships, with interconnection and operating arrangements evaluated for each project.
The transition to nuclear
Plan the transition from the beginning.
A Bridge Power project can begin with dedicated boilers while planning for EAGL-1 to become its future heat source. Early engineering considers the space, interfaces and conventional systems needed to support that transition.
Once EAGL-1 is licensed, constructed, commissioned, and authorized to operate, heat from the reactor would be used to produce steam for the turbine-generator, allowing the site to transition to nuclear generation without replacing the entire conventional power island.
The goal is to retain compatible turbine-generator equipment, electrical infrastructure, cooling and water-treatment systems, and site facilities where practical. Equipment reuse is evaluated individually rather than assumed.
- Turbine-generator infrastructure
- Electrical interconnection
- Cooling systems
- Water treatment systems
- Control and support facilities
- Roads, security, and site infrastructure
- Operations and maintenance
A nuclear transition depends on project-specific engineering, licensing, construction, commissioning and authorization to operate. Planning ahead helps customers understand that pathway while developing their initial power supply.
CUSTOMER-READY DEPLOYMENT PLATFORM
Built around the customer. Coordinated from the start.
FANCO understands the factors that stall nuclear projects, including licensing, manufacturing, construction, customer contracting, and financing. FANCO designed a deployment platform to systematically coordinate each of them from the outset.
Aligned interests
FANCO starts with the customer, bringing utilities, site owners, developers, and capital providers together to define the project and align interests before major construction begins.
Site and partner integration
Evaluate fuel supply, water, permitting and interconnection early. Coordinate with partners on protection, metering, operating arrangements and potential longer-term participation.
Project delivery and financing
Bring engineering, construction planning, commercial agreements and financing together around a workable delivery plan.
Long-term flexibility
Consider future EAGL-1 integration as part of the initial project design, identifying which equipment and infrastructure could serve both phases.
Regulatory engagement
FANCO is actively engaged with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission through the NRC pre-application process and has submitted a Regulatory Engagement Plan covering design criteria, functional containment, coolant behavior, fuel qualification, safety analysis, and risk assessment.
Modular, factory-built reactor
EAGL-1 is being developed for repeatable factory fabrication: major components and subassemblies are intended to be produced, tested, and shipped to the project site rather than constructed on-site from scratch. Work is shifted into controlled manufacturing environments, potentially reducing the schedule and cost uncertainty typical of bespoke nuclear construction.
Energy park configuration
EAGL-1 is designed for deployment as a standalone 240 MWe unit or as part of a multi-unit energy park serving larger loads, utilities, or regional demand, so customers can scale capacity in phases instead of committing to one large project up front.
Phased capital deployment
BRIDGE POWER is designed so that conventional infrastructure can be developed and financed separately from the specialized nuclear phase. This flexibility can support different investment stages and ownership structures within a single long-term energy plan.
Bridge Power begins as a standalone generation project using dedicated boilers. Dynamic Power integrates with other compatible heat sources, including existing or planned turbines, engines and industrial processes. Both are developed around customer needs and long-term utility coordination.
