SMRs, not large reactors, are ‘future of nuclear power’: ITIF

Small reactors could become a key U.S. export if DOE expands support for advanced nuclear technology and the federal government aligns regulations with friendly countries, the think tank said.

House, Senate push along bills to attract nuclear developments to Indiana • Indiana Capital Chronicle

Rep. Ed Soliday, R-Valparaiso, addresses the House chamber on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. (Casey Smith/Indiana Capital Chronicle)Multiple Republican energy bills dealing with incentives for nuclear power inched closer to the governor’s desk Tuesday following key votes in both the House and Senate. That included House Bill 1007, a priority measure that would expedite approval processes for large-load customers like data centers and create cost recov…

You May Soon See Small Modular Nuclear Reactors in Indiana

Source: Photo: Eric Berman/WIBC) STATEHOUSE — Small modular nuclear reactors may be used for the first time in the United States, in Indiana, thanks to a series of bills passed at the Statehouse.While one bill makes it easier for companies trying the technology for the first time to recoup some of their expense from Hoosier ratepayers, another would make it easier for companies to switch from coal or gas to nuclear with fewer problems from the g…

From Code to Core: How AI is Fueling the Rise of Small Modular Reactors

The world needs clean energy that is reliable and easy to build, without producing too much carbon. Nuclear energy is gaining fresh attention in this effort, but not the kind we’re used to. A new type of reactor, called a Small Modular Reactor (SMR), could make nuclear power safer, cheaper, and faster to install. SMR offers a promising option for the clean energy transition. But what’s helping SMRs move from the lab to reality even faster is art…

European Commission says SMRs face ‘limited market uptake and slow commercialisation’

The European Commission has said small modular reactors (SMRs) face “limited market uptake and slow commercialisation” as it calls for evidence on nuclear investment needs in the European Union (EU). The post European Commission says SMRs face ‘limited market uptake and slow commercialisation’ appeared first on New Civil Engineer.

Ontario Tech University - Ontario Tech researchers receive funding from Natural Resources Canada to study nuclear fuel safety and sustainability

Ontario Tech University through the Centre for Small Modular Reactors and the Brilliant Energy Institute will play a key role in ensuring Canada's future nuclear power generation is safe, reliable. . .
