3 Reasons Small Modular Reactors Should be a Power Generation Trend

What problem is fixed by small modular reactors? The impact of Federal repeals of incentives for wind and solar on renewable energy generation in non-attainment areas.

What is a small modular reactor? 

• a small modular reactor is nuclear energy
• that is a fraction of the size of existing nuclear power plants
• can be built/installed quickly
• less expensive to operate
  • a 50-megawatt SMR has 1/20th as much fuel as a typical nuclear plant
• safer to operate

Do small modular reactors exist?  NuScale, an Oregon-based nuclear company, is seeking certification of an SMR to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

How much power is generated? 12 modules generate 600 megawatts
