ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Nov. 4 -- The University of Michigan issued the following news:
SMRs have the potential provide a low-carbon path to meeting our country's energy needs, but they'll need help from policy and learning on the job
With help from policy, natural gas pricing and a variable known as learning, small modular nuclear reactors could be an economically viable way to provide low-carbon energy to heat-intensive industries, like ethanol refining, by 2050. credit: . . .
