Description
Description | The U.S. Department of Energy has selected 11 projects for a pilot program to develop high-tech small nuclear test reactors, aiming to have at least three operational within a year. The program seeks to fast-track the development and deployment of small modular and advanced nuclear reactors, which are expected to be cheaper to build per Megawatt of output due to factory replication of parts. The selected companies are responsible for all costs related to design, manufacturing, construction, and decommissioning of their reactors. |
