Awesome Tips Small nuclear reactors could be the future of energy
NuScale’s SMR modules are 76 feet tall, 15 feet in diameter, and can generate 77 MW(e). They are made to be built in factories and shipped for the final installation.

India & United States Together Developed This Small nuclear reactors in India
The problem with SMR's has nothing to do with electricity. It's a public school culture that adores the Kardashian's with little or no required STEM training.
If you don't want more nuclear power, then you're not an environmentalist.
Imagine being able to live in upper Canada with one of these things. Although I don’t know of the politics in Canada. We definitely need to stop global warming and having a place to live in any part of the world would be great.
This woman’s accent is tearing my tympanic so.. Horrible language these Spanish speak
Small reactors solve many of the problems of big ones, mainly cost. These reactors can be built on an assembly line and shipped to site ready to be installed and started up, greatly decreasing costs. Small reactors can also be much safer because they can be built to be physically too small to melt down.
Viva, España (and their beautiful people!), y Viva SMRs!
I'm an advocate, would like to see musicale in Washington state and replace gorge dam on the skagut to let the river run free again, and would like to see it sooner than later
The nuclear industry needs a PR department. There’s so much misinformation out there that needs to be addressed. I don’t believe it was mentioned as to the lifespan of these reactors I’d be curious to know
Small nuclear powered boats?
"Built in factories & shipped"… How much does this thing weigh? Other question: Is the present configuration "married" to vertical operation? If Yes, could the config be modified to operate horizontally? Potential application w/ vertical space constraints, plus lateral distribution of weight would be preferable.
limitedLiability…. can't be insured against murder nor propertyDamage nor safety…. no nukePlant is safe like small bombs with radioactivePunch… smaller more dangerous4saboteurs (Y)
<3 if noOne will insure it …U know it's not safe (Y)
Nuclear energy is here to stay…
But moving forward waste disposal and new reactor designs are a must..
Fire those SMRs up..everywhere!
Okej förnybar energi!?. Hur förnyar man en elektron som är förbrukad!?.
After looking at the alternatives and the ever expanding requirements for energy, SMR´s provide the short requirements for energy and secure independence in energy requirements.
How much does a module go for ?
2029? bruh
I am a fan of nuclear power. Module reactors seem very safe. Also, if designed properly, the reactors will generate less waste. In fact, if the French model is followed, the waste is perpetually recycled until there is hardly any. Last I knew, instead of thousands of tons, they had less than a human body weight of waste.
THORIUM!!!!
This is stupid you still have waste that is more toxic then any other system ever
NuScale reactors could be mass produced and placed on floating barges that could be deployed to remote territorial waters in the ocean to produce methanol from seawater. Methanol can replace natural gas in natural gas electric power plants cheaply retrofitted to use methanol. The flu gas from these power plants could be captured allowing CO2 to be recycled to produce more methanol when synthesized with hydrogen produced at sea. So this process would be more than carbon neutral, it would be carbon negative– reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere.
Your English beautiful
We need for the modularity to be standardized and mandated in order to promote to promote strong competition between design types and manufacturing.
Talvez o melhor complemento ao solar,eólico, hídrico…é está técnica miniatura nuclear.
The problem with nuclear energy is the lack of natural nuclear fuel on earth. Will you have to have fast-bread reactors in order to keep these SNR refuelled indefinitely?
Her accent is funny
rrrrrreactors
I am interested
Rolls Royce will do it best.
Radiation is a different type of environmental emission and it's more deadly than all the other ones
Nuclear will gradually be accepted as the go-to power source, eventually phasing out wind and solar. SMR's have the potential to desalinate water for farming, produce hydrogen for vehicles and industrial use and provide industry with a clean and cheap source of localized power that stays on 24/7/365.
her english is annoying…….
The economy of a power plant depends on rate of corruption in specific country. Sometimes very expencive
….
SMRrrrrrrrr's ! 😊
Jesus lady, leave some R's for the future generations!
Like the rrr….
Asta este scăparea Europei , la dependentă fata de gazele rusești !
it's the way forward. US navy have been floating around with them for years without much problems
I like this lady. Great accent.
Nuclear power is demonize by several environmental groups like Greenpeace
