Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are revolutionizing the nuclear power industry by providing a compact and scalable approach to energy production. Unlike traditional large-scale reactors, SMRs can be manufactured in a factory setting and transported to the site where they are needed. This makes them ideal for remote locations or industrial applications where large reactors are impractical. Companies like NuScale Power and Rolls-Royce are at the forefront of SMR development, showcasing designs that promise to lower costs and enhance safety. Their modular nature means they can be built incrementally, allowing for more flexible integration with existing power grids. This adaptability positions SMRs as a key player in the future of nuclear energy.
