Small Modular Reactors: Game changer or more of the same?🧐 #PolicyBrief
"SMRs r presented, not only by #nuclear #industry, but also by #media & #government, as established, proven, commercial products.. Te perception tt #SMRs r being built in large numbers is untrue & te claims made for them in terms of, for eg., cost, #safety & waste are at best #unproven & at worst false.. image of them being smaller than existing #reactors is incorrect. IAEA’s size range is arbitrary"🤦‍♂️

Why the grid relies on #nuclearreactors in the #winter
Steady #nuclear energy is in high demand this time of year.
Generally, nuclear #reactors operate at constant levels, as close to full capacity as possible. In 2024, for commercial reactors worldwide, the average capacity factor—the ratio of actual energy output to the theoretical maxiumum—was 83%. North America rang in at an average of about 90%.

In a finding that helps elucidate how molten #salts in advanced #nuclear #reactors might behave, scientists have shown how #electrons interacting with the #ions of the molten salt can form three states with different properties.
