Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMR’s) - A Compelling Solution for Carbon-Free Future Electrical Energy

Small modular nuclear reactors (SMR's) are proposed as one compelling solution for future carbon-free electrical energy generation. Compared to conventional power plants, their small size speeds manufacturing and deployment at reduced cost. It also opens novel physical location options. Important features include the incorporation of modern “fourth generation" safety features, such as molten salt coolant, and the production of less radioactive waste. A number of organizations are now aggressively pursuing this technology.

Mr. Koch will introduce SMR technology, its history, design approach, and discuss systems currently under development, ready to be deployed, both in Canada and internationally.
