Part 6/9:

In response to the stagnation in conventional nuclear power construction, the emergence of small modular reactors (SMRs) aims to meet the growing energy demands with more cost-effective solutions. These reactors are designed to be mass-produced in factories, promising faster, simpler, and cheaper deployment. Companies like Kairos and TerraPower are developing innovative reactor technologies with the intention of delivering operational reactors by the mid-2030s. However, experts remind us that government backing is imperative for the success of these projects, as high upfront costs and lengthy regulatory processes can deter private investment.
