Small modular reactors might end up being lower cost energy if the full advantages of factory mass production can be leveraged

Small modular reactors might end up being lower cost energy if the full advantages of factory mass production can be leveraged

Analysts and decision makers frequently want estimates of the cost of technologies that have yet to be developed or deployed. (PNAS - Expert assessments of the cost of light water small modular reactors) Small modular reactors (SMRs), which could become part of a portfolio of carbon-free energy sources, are one such technology. Existing estimates of likely SMR costs rely on problematic top-down ap
