Advanced Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are explored as a promising solution for safe, clean, and cost-effective nuclear power. The book details various designs currently in development in the U.S., highlighting their diverse sizes and applications, from power generation to desalination. It emphasizes the benefits of SMRs, including lower capital costs, flexibility in location, and enhanced safety features. Additionally, the authors advocate for the use of next-generation nuclear technologies (GEN-IV) as efficient renewable energy sources, underscoring their security and nonproliferation advantages.
