Small Modular Reactors, or SMRs have been under consideration in many quarters of late as a new focus for nuclear power generation.  While the recent deadline for DOE grant money came and went without so much as a whisper from the DOE, the concept continues to be developed.  Quite a few presentations have been made, as a result, on reactors of this class here at the ANS 2012 Winter Meeting.http://ansnuclearcafe.org/2012/11/14/smr-designs-once-again-a-focus-at-ans-winter-meeting-2012/
