SMRs offer potential benefits in terms of better affordability and enhanced safety, and can also be sited more flexibly than traditional nuclear plants. This book provides decision-makers in governments, business, and research with the needed background in small nuclear power to create a balanced discussion of the many advantages of SMRs and the criticisms they face.
