Starcore Nuclear SMR

Abstract

The time is right for small modular nuclear reactors. Policy-makers, the environmental community, and electricity providers are agreeing that nuclear power belongs in the mix to meet future objectives. They are seeing that SMRs avoid many of the issues of large, conventional nuclear plants while offering some unique advantages. SMRs are still carbon free, but the fuel is different and safe. They can be delivered on time. They cost much less in absolute terms. And, they more closely match the needs of an evolving energy market.Remote extractive industries are burning polluting, expensive, fossil fuels. Billions of people lack access to any electricity at all, or burn those same fuels, and do not have potable water. Utilities and power grids are trying to slash coal use and incorporate renewables, and need smaller, distributed, flexible power generation.
