Introducing SMR (Small Nuclear Reactors) to the Prince William Region
.
PICTURES AND NEWS ARTICLE ON APRIL 18, 2024 PAGE - link below
Nuclear Power for Energy in the Prince William Region
According to the World Nuclear Association's website regarding Small Nuclear Power Reactors:
"SMR development is proceeding in Western countries with a lot of private investment, including small companies. The involvement of these new investors indicates a profound shift taking place from government-led and -funded nuclear R&D to that led by the private sector and people with strong entrepreneurial goals, often linked to a social purpose. That purpose is often deployment of affordable clean energy, without carbon dioxide emissions."
