Why Small Modular Nuclear Reactors Won’t Help Counter the Climate Crisis | EWG Next Level Energy

Why Small Modular Nuclear Reactors Won’t Help Counter the Climate Crisis | EWG Next Level Energy: Small modular nuclear reactors, or SMRs, are designed to generate less than 300 megawatts of electricity – several times less than typical reactors, which have a range of 1,000 to 1,600 MW. While the individual standardized modules would be small, plans typically call for several modules to be installed at a single power generation site. Photo credit: NuScale Power, LLC
