The Future of Fission Reactors May Be Small

Cars That Think

a nuclear engineer at the Nuclear Innovation Alliance think tank. Instead of building an airport, one analogy goes, crafting an SMR is like building an aircraft. NuScale has plans to build a US plant in Idaho by 2030; the company is involved in the UK , Poland , and Romania as well. And it’s still on the drawing board.
