Just Have a Think | Rolls Royce Small Modular Reactor. Energy Revolution or delusional distraction? @JustHaveaThink | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 57 minutes ago.
Nuclear power has been around for decades but it's never achieved the global dominance of the energy sector that its creators envisioned. Now, as the world moves away from fossil fuels, the nuclear debate is firmly back in focus and Small Modular Reactors are being touted as the only zero carbon baseload solution to our climate crisis. Rolls Royce say they'll have their design operational within ten years. Can they do it, and do we want it?
