Description
Nuclear reactors are a low carbon energy source that can provide both firm electricity and high temperature process heat. However, large nuclear reactors have suffered extensive cost and schedule overruns in the West. Two emergent families of technologies are being developed to address these deployment challenges: small modular reactors and microreactors. This talk will introduce these technologies and discuss their prospects.
