Nuclear Renaissance: The Race for Small Modular Reactors | John Haughey
The future is here. A new generation of small, portable nuclear reactors is advancing so quickly that a nuclear-powered future is no longer a question of if, but when.
Executive orders, deregulation, and private investment have accelerated development of small modular nuclear units and microreactors. Several new designs have already achieved criticality this year, with more expected by the end of 2026—the first new U.S. designs to do so since 1973.
What is criticality? What’s driving demand for these portable units? Are they new technology or older concepts whose time is now? Where will these…
