AtomicBlender - Will These Small Reactors Revolutionize Nuclear Power? 13122022

Small Modular Reactors, or SMRs, are shaking up how we generate electricity around the world. But how well do they address the problems of traditional nuclear plants? Are they safer, less expensive, producing less nuclear waste, reducing proliferation of nuclear weapons, or just as complex as their bigger brothers? Do SMRs compete with renewables like wind and solar, will we see these new nuclear plants under construction in the near future, and is the nuclear industry ready?
