Great read. Thanks MolaKule. What I like about this type of technology is the smaller footprint involved compared to solar or wind. To me, the huge amount of acreage used to put up the solar and wind systems is wasteful. The end result is not worth it. The idea of putting several SMRs in a 60 acre footprint that would equal one if the nuclear plants of today is much more efficient. Add in the better safety and it's a winner.
They do some excellent research work out at the Idaho National Laboratory.
