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 […]
How Small Modular Reactors are Safely Regulated
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are emerging as a critical piece of infrastructure for global leaders that are looking to meet the growing energy needs of their populations and achieve their climate goals. Smaller and more adaptable than their large-scale predecessors, these new nuclear power plants are nonetheless subject to the same scrutiny and comprehensive regulatory […]
Purdue Study Highlights Bright Future for Small Modular Reactors in Indiana
A new report from Purdue University offers a detailed look at the promising role Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) could play in Indiana’s energy future.
Canada’s Nuclear Future and the Duty to Consult Under Bill C-5
The Canadian federal government recently passed Bill C-5, also known as the One Canadian Economy Act. It aims to fast-track “national interest” projects by reducing regulatory and approval redundancies between federal and provincial governments. This streamlining could be a boon for the nuclear power industry, but we owe it to the communities in which we […]
Inherent Safety in SMR Designs
The history of nuclear power has been a continuous journey towards safer designs. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) represent a gigantic leap forward as they are designed to be inherently safe.
