Small Modular Nuclear Reactors: Compact Firm Power With Big Questions

Small modular reactors, usually called SMRs, are one of the most discussed answers to a hard grid question: where can we get reliable low-carbon power when demand is rising and weather-dependent generation is not always available? The basic promise is simple. Instead of building a very large nuclear plant as a giant one-off project, build smaller reactor units that can be manufactured more repeatably, shipped or assembled in modules, and added as needed.
