Oak Ridge ideal for small reactor, Alexander says
Energy Dept. is asked to pilot-test small modular reactor
The Department of Energy should consider pilot-testing a small modular reactor at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. At a hearing of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, Alexander said testing a 125-megawatt nuclear reactor at Oak Ridge would reduce startup costs and help the agency meet 48% of its greenhouse-gas emissions target.
