Nukes, Part 7: Micro Reactors
Nukes part 7 is about Micro Reactors. Per energy.gov, a single (micro reactor) unit typically generates 1 to 10 megawatts-electric.
Micro reactors are simply smaller, factory-built systems that can be easily transported by trucks, ships, airplanes or railcars.
Some micro reactors can be set up in days, not years, to provide reliable heat and power to a host of places, ranging from residential and remote areas to military bases.
I believe the real promise for micro reactors is in the far north, where they will displace diesel generation for remote villages, industrial sites and other remote facilities.
