Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMRS)

Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMRS)

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.

Power Makes the World Go Round

Currently, the power grid in the United States is fueled by:

Power makes the world go around.

Power Makes the World Go Round

There is no substitute for power. Where does this power come from? Oil, gas, coal, water, wind, solar, biomass, and nuclear. As we move ever forward in the development of clean energy our power needs are increasing every year and far outweigh the ability for water, solar, and wind to fully provide the requirements demanded of the global energy grid. Just the effort in reducing pollution by replacing gas-driven vehicles with electric will result in a huge uptick in demand. Where is the power coming from that recharges the batteries in these vehicles? From the power grid fueled by existing energy production.
