The decarbonization of the energy industry is one of the key pillars in the reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. The energy generation industry is an …

Small modular reactors are the latest “new” technology that nuclear advocates tout as the
game changer that will overcome previous economic failures of nuclear power. The debate …

Small modular reactors (SMRs; ie, nuclear reactors that produce< 300 MWelec each) have
garnered attention because of claims of inherent safety features and reduced cost. However …

Nuclear power has been declining in importance over the last quarter century, with its share
of global electrical energy generation decreasing from 17.5 percent in 1996 to around 10 …

In this article, we argue that scientists and technologists associated with the nuclear industry
are building support for small modular reactors (SMRs) by advancing five rhetorical visions …

Nuclear power plant construction has historically been challenged by problems of high cost,
cost escalation, and construction delays. The newest set of large reactor projects have also …

To meet climate policy goals, it will be necessary to deploy a series of low-carbon energy
technologies, including nuclear power. The small modular reactor (SMR) can potentially …

An estimated 28 countries are interested in introducing nuclear power into their electric grid
mix. The sudden influx of new nuclear power plants into emerging nuclear energy countries …

Small modular reactors (SMRs) have been proposed as a possible way to address the
social problems confronting nuclear power, including poor economics, the possibility of …

This study provides a portrait of the state of impact assessment (IA) research for four types of
low carbon power production (wind, solar, small-scale hydro and small modular nuclear …
