The Clinch River Nuclear Site (CRNS) is a project site owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). It was originally the site of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Project.
In February 2022, the site was announced as the first location of a small modular reactor as part of the TVA's New Nuclear Program, which was approved the same year.[1][2]
GE-Hitachi Small Modular Reactor (SMR)
[edit]In August 2022, TVA announced a signed agreement with GE-Hitachi to plan and license a BWRX-300 small modular reactor at the site.[3][4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
