All the different types of small modular reactors generate heat the same way: by splitting heavy atoms and capturing the heat ...

Small modular reactors are supposed to become a new leg on the green energy stool. However, none have been deployed, and regulatory approval is still an open issue. That is about to change. Google is ...

The nuclear energy industry is seeing a resurgence in global interest as governments, utilities, and tech giants seek to meet soaring electricity demand with around-the-clock, carbon-free power.

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are often hailed as the future of nuclear power—compact, scalable, and potentially capable of delivering clean energy anywhere it’s needed. From powering remote mining ...

You might imagine nuclear power plants as behemoth facilities spanning hundreds of acres. Nuclear microreactors, by contrast, could sit on land the size of a football field and power a whole town. I’m ...

Atomic energy is back, thanks to the ravenous demands of AI, favoritism from Trump, and the zeal of young entrepreneurs raising billions to build mini-reactors. The upside is unlimited. At Aalo ...
