Small modular reactor

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are a class of small nuclear fission reactors designed to be built in a factory and shipped to operational sites for installation, with capacities ranging from 5 MWe to 300 MWe. They are often designed to be modular, allowing customers to add modules to achieve a desired electrical output, and are expected to reduce on-site construction and increase containment efficiency. SMRs are also claimed to have lower power plant staffing costs, enhanced safety, and the ability to bypass financial and safety barriers that inhibit the construction of conventional reactors.learn more on wikipedia
