What do these attributes mean for common use cases?

This is an attribute check, not a project recommendation. Site, grid, licensing, fuel, security and economics still need project-specific analysis.

Common questionWhat this design data says
Grid electricity?1400 MWe electrical nameplate in the current design snapshot.
Useful heat?Not presented in this dataset as a heat-use design.
Remote / isolated deployment?Not a primary small/remote scale signal.
Transportable system?No — this profile treats it as a fixed-site design.
Current programme phase?Operating Operating / under construction

Programme status

Operating / under construction. Operating fleet with additional units under construction.

Multiple operating and construction projects.

Status describes the programme at the verification date. It does not imply commercial availability, licensing in your jurisdiction, construction certainty or guaranteed schedule.

Closest designs by electrical output

These are the three nearest entries in the Nuclear Planner dataset on a ratio-based MWe scale. They are not claimed to be technical substitutes.
