The U.S. Is Testing Tiny Nuclear Reactors That Can Go Practically Anywhere

Innovative companies join forces to build 'microreactor' that could revolutionize how we generate power: 'A transformative approach'

NuCube Energy joined the Shell GameChanger program to develop a nuclear microreactor that reaches temperatures over 1,000 degrees Celsius, reported Business Wire. The Idaho company designs small nuclear reactors that produce intense heat and electricity. These compact units serve manufacturing plants and isolated locations that need constant power without sending carbon into the atmosphere. Nuclear power is derived from splitting atoms, which pr…

Nuclear Microreactors: The Silent Energy Revolution Starts in Idaho with eVinci - Economic Scenarios

In the heart of the Idaho desert, where you would least expect it, a quiet but powerful energy revolution is taking shape. Small and innovative nuclear reactors, known as microreactors , are poised to revolutionize the global energy landscape, promising clean, affordable energy even in the most remote locations. They are an extreme form of SMR , or modular reactor, simplified and with reduced energy output. An explosive start: testing at the DOM…

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wants to Use Nuclear Microreactors to Deliver Power to Remote Areas

Out in Idaho’s desert, tiny nuclear reactors are definitely something you don’t expect to see while traveling. These mini powerhouses, called microreactors, aim to bring clean energy to far-off places around the world. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) teamed up with Westinghouse and Radiant to test their designs at the Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments [...]
