Part 3/12:
One of the most promising applications of SMRs is powering energy-intensive industries that are currently hard to decarbonize, such as steel manufacturing, chemical production, or even AI data centers. The modular units' ability to operate independently from the grid offers additional flexibility, enabling localized power generation where grid connection is limited or unreliable. Their size and replicability mean they could serve niche markets or serve as regional power sources without requiring extensive transmission infrastructure.
