Small and Modular, A New Era for Nuclear Reactors?

from ARC ENERGY IDEAS Hosted by ARC ENERGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE

So you think nuclear power plants are big concrete monoliths? Not so, says Norman JD Sawyer the President and CEO of ARC Nuclear Canada. His company is among a new generation developing small, modular nuclear reactors. Norm explains why, compared to the big reactors in operation today, his technology overcomes many of the issues. For example, smaller reactors are safer and have much less waste. A modular design helps keep costs down too. The company’s first commercial project is expected to be in operation by 2028 in New Brunswick, Canada. Check out Energyphile.org to learn more about the “Atomic Energy” brochure from 1963.
