Editorial: For a better energy route

Paper: Ore. officials should support company's reactor designs
Oregon officials should push for the certification and use of local company NuScale's small-scale nuclear reactors if the state is serious in its goal to significantly reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, according to an editorial in the Democrat-Herald of Albany, Ore. NuScale's modular reactors could be built inside factories and arrayed to match the power requirements of customers. NuScale plans to file for certification of a reactor design in 2012.
