NUCLEAR 101: Microreactors are factory-built, plug-and-play reactors.
➡️ They can be used to power military bases, disaster recovery efforts, or remote locations where traditional infrastructure doesn’t exist.
➡️ These mini reactors can provide between 1-20 megawatts of thermal energy used directly as heat or converted to electric power.
➡️ They fit on the back of a semi-truck and will not require a large number of people to operate them.
➡️ Microreactors can integrate seamlessly into distributed grids to complement renewable power and are expected to run continuously for about 10 years without refueling.
➡️ Once the core is spent, they can be exchanged for a new one.
