Smaller Sizes and Better Sites
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are small in size and big in safety. They offer incredible flexibility in where they can be built compared to their much larger predecessors, bringing reliable and clean energy in ways that no other technology can. One of the greatest contributing factors is their significantly reduced Emergency Planning Zones, which maintain […]
SMRs: More Than Just Megawatts
When a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) comes online in a community, it can provide more than just clean, safe and reliable power. These are versatile facilities that can also produce heat, drinking water and other types of fuel. Most importantly, these compact nuclear power plants can stimulate multi-generational prosperity by creating thousands of jobs, bringing […]
Degrees of Remoteness: Designing for Way Off-Grid
