Nuclear energy has a rocky path ahead
What’s next: A new report says the path forward for new U.S. nuclear development lies with development and commercial deployment of small “microreactors” under 10 megawatts.
The report from The Breakthrough Institute, the R Street Institute and the ClearPath Foundation says this “can leverage America’s comparative advantage: our unrivaled innovation system and entrepreneurial business culture.”
It calls for policy changes and support, including several contained in bipartisan legislation before Congress, to help develop and license these projects.
