Providing clean, safe, and affordable energy to serve the growing power requirements of our country and the world, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), appear to be a reasonable solution. They are about a third of the size of a conventional nuclear power plant. The vision is to have these deployed around the country in single or multiple units, generating from a couple of megawatts to hundreds of megawatts.
The vision includes not just use as power generators but to process heat, desalination, or other industrial uses. The modular construction provides a great benefit in the ability to be manufactured in a facility and then be shipped for assembly at the approved power site.
