Small Modular Reactors
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are a type of nuclear reactor designed to be smaller and more flexible than traditional large reactors. They typically generate up to 300 megawatts of electricity, making them suitable for smaller energy needs or remote locations. Their modular design allows for factory production and easier transportation, which can reduce construction costs and time.
SMRs also offer enhanced safety features, including passive cooling systems that can operate without external power. This makes them less prone to accidents. As the world seeks cleaner energy sources, SMRs are being considered as a viable option for reducing carbon emissions while providing reliable electricity.
