For smaller cities with populations from around 130,000 up to 400,000 a the single SMR is designed to operate year-round in CHP mode producing electricity via a non-condensing turbine and using the low pressure exhaust steam to heat a district-heating water circuit. Any surplus heat in the form of uncondensed steam is removed by the on-board supplementary condensers and the cooling circuit for these is cooled, in turn, by water drawn from the estuary.
