Have you ever wondered if small nuclear reactors could possibly beat out the economies of scale from large reactors? Check out my latest report @theniaorg.bsky.social “Right-Sizing Reactors: Balancing trade-offs between economies of scale and volume” tinyurl.com/bdhz27wt

I hear this skepticism a lot: sure, an SMR could work in the U.S. or Europe, but it wouldn't be safe to deploy hundreds of them in emerging economies, right? Well, Hamna Tariq (Energy for Growth Hub) and I dug into this energyforgrowth.org/article/disp...

What would it take for a rogue state or a terrorist group to turn an SMR into a weapon?

That's not "cool", that's a tragedy. U.S. has maternal mortality twice the rate of the average high-income country. Of course you have a bunch of dudes shrugging it off, then asking why women don't have more babies.

In general, I don't feel like nuclear energy is being over-hyped right now, there's just a lot of investment interest and government support so dozens of companies competing for those resources. BUT everyone knew Fermi - founded by Rick Perry - was a huge grift: www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...
