Massive cost blowouts and multi-year delays have stymied the construction of small nuclear reactors, yet their proponents keep pushing the idea. Jim Green reports.

Jim Green 28 November 2023  https://reneweconomy.com.au/small-modular-nuclear-reactors-a-history-of-failure/ Small modular reactors (SMRs) are defined as reactors with a capacity of 300 megawatts (MW) or less. The term ‘modular’ refers to serial factory production of reactor components, which could drive down costs. By that definition, no SMRs have ever been built and none are being built now. In all likelihood…

A molten salt reactor (MSR) is a type of nuclear reactor that uses liquid fuel instead of the solid fuel rods used in conventional nuclear reactors.

In November 2018 Energy Central posted a question about success factors for advanced nuclear reactors. The resulting Q&A discussion garnered over 6,000 page views. Now three years later some trends are emerging that indicate the answers are more complicated, but also there are opportunities to get to the answers in ways that rely on methods of producing industrial process
