Part 1/12:
The Promising yet Challenging Future of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors
Once seen as a revolutionary solution to the limitations of traditional nuclear power, small modular reactors (SMRs) have recently experienced a notable resurgence. Initially, the idea of deploying modular nuclear units seemed promising, but technical, economic, and political hurdles cast doubt on their viability. However, an emerging wave of projects, investments, and political enthusiasm suggests that SMRs may soon play a significant role in the global energy landscape.
