Small Modular Reactors Explained - Nuclear Power's Future?

In 1996 , nuclear energy accounted for 17.7% of the global power generation.

Only a net of 2.4 gigawatts of new nuclear generation capacity came online in 2019 .

Small modular reactors can be manufactured in factories with standardized designs.

This means you can scale production, reduce costs and lower the risks of delays in the construction of nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power plants are complex buildings that rely on external power systems such as AC power generators and batteries to cool down the reactor's fuel in case of a power loss.

But SMRS can be linked with other energy sources, including renewables and fossil fuels, to increase grid stability and security.

SMRS enhance safety and security through lower thermal power of the reactor core and use passive safety systems.

AVPN encrypts all of the data that you send over the Internet, so passwords, messages, photos and videos, and whatever you're doing online stays private.

With Surfshark 's Clean Web, it blocks ads, trackers, and malicious websites.

SMR supporters look at this as a potential solution for nuclear power to be more cost effective.
