Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are often hailed as the future of nuclear power—compact, scalable, and potentially capable of delivering clean energy anywhere it’s needed. From powering remote mining ...
NuScale Power appears to have a head start on the competition, but that lead could be shrinking.
Currently, industrial processes in the U.S. account for approximately a third of the country’s carbon dioxide emissions – even more than the annual emissions from passenger vehicles, trucks, and ...
Small nuclear reactors are pitched as cheaper, safer, faster and easier to finance than their conventional counterparts. Hype around them is building fast, but some experts warn it ignores fundamental ...
