Industry touts benefits of small modular reactors
Several
industry representatives are touting the positive attributes of small
modular reactors. They have lower capital costs than conventional larger
reactors, and some designs could convert waste from the fission
byproduct into fuel. "The advantage of the smaller one is: Even if you
need 1,000 megawatts, you can put investment in piecemeal and generate
money while the next unit is put in," said Aris Candris, president and
CEO of Westinghouse Electric. ScientificAmerican.com
