U.S. Energy Department Invests Small-Scale Nuclear Reactors
2013-12-13 19:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Small, nearly meltdown-proof nuclear reactors are receiving a big boost from the U.S. Department of Energy. The department will give a company in Corvallis, Oregon, as much as $226 million to develop so-called "small modular reactors," which can be used with many local power grids that can't accommodate conventional nuclear reactors. Because of the extremely low likelihood of meltdown, the next-generation, small-scale reactors are safer than many currently operating reactors, engineers say. The company,...

Energy department to give $226 million to support nuclear reactor design
2013-12-13 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The Energy Department will give a small company in Corvallis, Ore., up to $226 million to advance the design of tiny nuclear reactors that would be installed under water, making meltdown far less likely and opening the door to markets around the world where the reactors now on the market are too big for local power grids. The company, NuScale Power, has made substantial progress in developing "an invented-in-America, made-in-America product that will export U.S. safety standards around the world,"...
