<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne of the most hopeful developments in the next generation of nuclear power is the technology of small modular nuclear fission reactors. These reactors are much smaller than traditional reactors and can produce up to 300 megawatts of electricity, making them ideal for use in small communities or remote areas where access to power is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, these reactors are modular, which means they can be built in factories and transported to the place of use, significantly reducing construction costs and construction time. They are also safer than traditional reactors, as they are designed to shut down automatically in an emergency and do not produce such highly radioactive nuclear waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, several countries are investing in modular nuclear fission reactor technology, including the United States, Canada, and China. The American company NuScale Power has developed a modular nuclear fission reactor that has already been approved by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and they are currently working on their first pilot project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world is desperately hungry for energy. It is estimated that electricity consumption will increase by 70% between now and 2050. And making that energy \"non-polluting\" in a short space of time is very, very difficult. That is why we have to be pragmatic, and although I don't like nuclear waste, we must analyze all the possibilities we have, which are not excessive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And in that \"niche,\" small, cheap, and safe nuclear reactors may have some options. That's why many billions of dollars are being invested in new nuclear power start-ups. There are various models of them, but they all have in common that they can be placed on a trailer and easily moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We're still a few years away from seeing some of these new reactors come to work, but it looks like it's going to be. And we will have to wait for the results to know the real future they may have.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
