NuScale has designed a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) that has a simplified design making it safe, scalable, and cost-efficient all while meeting expanding energy needs. Their reactor has a wide range of applications – it can desalinate water, support renewable resources, provide highly reliable power or serve as emissions-free baseload power. This technology has […]

Senior national nuclear regulators gathered in Vienna on 25-28 March for the IAEA’s SMR Regulators’ Forum, to discuss challenges and share experiences in developing regulations for small, medium-sized, or modular reactors (SMRs). SMRs, which have the potential to offer a low carbon alternative for a variety of applications, are among the most innovative emerging technologies […]

Small and medium-sized or modular reactors are an option to fulfill the need for flexible power generation for a wider range of users and applications. Small modular reactors, deployable either as single or multi-module plants, offer the possibility to combine nuclear with alternative energy sources, including renewables.

The world’s first artificial nuclear reactor. It was built on a racquetball field under the stadium’s bleachers, at the University of Chicago. The place where the first nuclear reaction took place was declared a National Historic Milestone in 1965.
