Thinking Small, Nuclear Power Enters Distributed Era
The
nuclear power industry’s drive to deploy small, modular reactors (SMRs)
took a significant step forward this month. Nuclear technology vendor
Babcock & Wilcox formalized its funding agreement with the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) for the mPower reactor project. With $79
million of federal funds for this year (and a total of $150 million over
the five-year program), B&W plans to build a prototype SMR at the
Clinch River site in Tennessee, owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority.http://www.forbes.com/sites/pikeresearch/2013/04/26/thinking-small-nuclear-power-enters-distributed-era/
