Report: Advanced Reactors Need Clear Path to Success

Policy recommendations for advanced reactor deployment are published by a DC think tank in collaboration with a key nuclear industry trade group

• Advanced reactors essential to meet climate goals
• New regulation, investment will drive development

The Global Nexus Initiative (GNI), a joint project of the Nuclear Energy Institute and the Partnership for Global Security (PGS), this week released a policy memo that urges Congress and government agencies to make the path to deploying new, advanced reactors “clearer and better supported” in order to meet international climate objectives.
The report says in the somewhat stilted language of DC policy wonks that the next generation of advanced nuclear reactors has “the potential to be a more easily deployable and operationally flexible alternative to the large light water reactors that are dominant round the world today,” but, the report says, deploying these new reactors poses a unique set of challenges.
