Last December, Ontario Power Generation (OPG), Canada, announced that it will work with GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy to deploy the BWR-X, a small modular reactor (SMR) designed by GE-Hitachi, by 2028. \u00a0This is typical of the many claims these days about small modular nuclear reactors. Will SMRs be the savior of the nuclear industry, or is it just wishful thinking about nuclear power?<\/p>\n
Our guests will discuss the problems associated with SMRs, regulatory and economic, as well as the challenges these pose for equity and justice. Questions from participants are welcome.<\/p>\n
