NuScale’s SMR modules are 76 feet tall, 15 feet in diameter, and can generate 77 MW(e). They are made to be built in factories and shipped for the final installation.

What are your thoughts on SMR and nuclear energy? What should we do to fight climate change? Let us know in the comments!
I like this lady. Great accent.
it’s the way forward. US navy have been floating around with them for years without much problems
Asta este scăparea Europei , la dependentă fata de gazele rusești !
Like the rrr.…
Jesus lady, leave some R’s for the future generations!
SMRrrrrrrrr’s ! 😊
The economy of a power plant depends on rate of corruption in specific country. Sometimes very expencive

her english is annoying.……
Nuclear will gradually be accepted as the go-to power source, eventually phasing out wind and solar. SMR’s have the potential to desalinate water for farming, produce hydrogen for vehicles and industrial use and provide industry with a clean and cheap source of localized power that stays on 24/7/365.
Radiation is a different type of environmental emission and it’s more deadly than all the other ones
Rolls Royce will do it best.
I am interested
rrrrrreactors
Her accent is funny
The problem with nuclear energy is the lack of natural nuclear fuel on earth. Will you have to have fast-bread reactors in order to keep these SNR refuelled indefinitely?
Talvez o melhor complemento ao solar,eólico, hídrico…é está técnica miniatura nuclear.
We need for the modularity to be standardized and mandated in order to promote to promote strong competition between design types and manufacturing.
Your English beautiful
NuScale reactors could be mass produced and placed on floating barges that could be deployed to remote territorial waters in the ocean to produce methanol from seawater. Methanol can replace natural gas in natural gas electric power plants cheaply retrofitted to use methanol. The flu gas from these power plants could be captured allowing CO2 to be recycled to produce more methanol when synthesized with hydrogen produced at sea. So this process would be more than carbon neutral, it would be carbon negative– reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere.
This is stupid you still have waste that is more toxic then any other system ever
THORIUM!!!!
I am a fan of nuclear power. Module reactors seem very safe. Also, if designed properly, the reactors will generate less waste. In fact, if the French model is followed, the waste is perpetually recycled until there is hardly any. Last I knew, instead of thousands of tons, they had less than a human body weight of waste.
2029? bruh
How much does a module go for ?
After looking at the alternatives and the ever expanding requirements for energy, SMR´s provide the short requirements for energy and secure independence in energy requirements.
Okej förnybar energi!?. Hur förnyar man en elektron som är förbrukad!?.
Fire those SMRs up..everywhere!
Nuclear energy is here to stay…
But moving forward waste disposal and new reactor designs are a must..
“Built in factories & shipped”… How much does this thing weigh? Other question: Is the present configuration “married” to vertical operation? If Yes, could the config be modified to operate horizontally? Potential application w/ vertical space constraints, plus lateral distribution of weight would be preferable.
Small nuclear powered boats?
The nuclear industry needs a PR department. There’s so much misinformation out there that needs to be addressed. I don’t believe it was mentioned as to the lifespan of these reactors I’d be curious to know
I’m an advocate, would like to see musicale in Washington state and replace gorge dam on the skagut to let the river run free again, and would like to see it sooner than later
Viva, España (and their beautiful people!), y Viva SMRs!
Small reactors solve many of the problems of big ones, mainly cost. These reactors can be built on an assembly line and shipped to site ready to be installed and started up, greatly decreasing costs. Small reactors can also be much safer because they can be built to be physically too small to melt down.
This woman’s accent is tearing my tympanic so.. Horrible language these Spanish speak
Imagine being able to live in upper Canada with one of these things. Although I don’t know of the politics in Canada. We definitely need to stop global warming and having a place to live in any part of the world would be great.
If you don’t want more nuclear power, then you’re not an environmentalist.
The problem with SMR’s has nothing to do with electricity. It’s a public school culture that adores the Kardashian’s with little or no required STEM training.
India & United States Together Developed This Small nuclear reactors in India
Seriously, the rolling rrrrrrs distract from what would otherwise be interesting content!
I’m ready, bring on the small modular reactor, because I undwestand the science. those who are not versed are the fearful… ignorance is a hinderance
This is absolutely crazy tech. I can’t believe the metal presses they are using for this project in Idaho.
And this lady is great. So many rolling r’s in the first section of this video 😂. I love it.
We are interested in SMR.
As long as there are 5 million premature deaths from fossile fuels and we cannot build a stable grid from intermittent wind and solar energy alone but need hydro or coal and gas plants as backup plants, there is no denying that nuclear is the far better option having 0 carbon gases and air pollution while producing energy. Three Mile Island and Fukushima killed 0 civilians and Chernobyl was a soviet military reactor designed to in situ extraction of plutonium for nuclear weapons which was put to an unsafe low power test to simulate a station blackout for the town Prypiat According to the WHO, Chernobyl caused 31 direct casualties amongst the first responders and in total in all eternity will have caused about 4000 premature deaths.
Human caused climate change or not ….. nuclear is the ONLY way to go for efficient, cheap, green, safe mass produced electricity ! Period !
Die kleinen Small Modular Reactor sind gescheitert.
Der US-Firma NuScale hat man jetzt den Stecker gezogen und musste aufgeben, die kWh von den Erneuerbaren sind nun mal kostengünstiger und schneller zu bekommen.
The US company NuScale has given up on the SMR and discontinued the project, 11–2023.
Once again it was stupid for the nuclear power plants.
The SMR was just nonsense squared anyway.

that’s why I invested in SMR NuScale stock
