Part 4/10:
Stackable Capacity: Instead of acquiring a single large reactor, operators can opt for smaller, 300-megawatt units, and as demand increases, they can add more reactors incrementally. This approach provides a more nuanced and flexible response to varying energy requirements, thus reducing financial risks associated with large upfront investments.
Modular Construction: Reactors can be built in sections offsite — akin to manufacturing techniques found in the automotive and shipbuilding industries — allowing for cost efficiencies and reduced construction timelines.
