How to accelerate the delivery of small nuclear reactors

The designs for Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C are deliberately very similar; doing so saves costs and allows re-utilisation of the supply chain, as well as know-how, ensuring a smoother roll out. Both of those sites are adjacent to pre-existing nuclear facilities. It is… The post How to accelerate the delivery of small nuclear reactors appeared first on New Civil Engineer.

Nuclear: Time to pull out the stops

Nuclear energy has been assigned a major role in the UK’s energy strategy. But the strategy will fail unless the government supports and enables the delivery of small nuclear reactors alongside faster construction of large reactors.
