Decentralized Power: The Future of Small-Scale Nuclear Reactors
This chapter examines the role of liquid metal cooled fast neutron micro reactors in providing decentralized power solutions for oil and gas production in regions like the Permian Basin. It highlights the potential benefits of these small-scale nuclear reactors in enhancing energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impacts, while also addressing the challenges and complexities of nuclear energy policy in the U.S. The discussion further explores the need for government support and investment to foster the development of competitive nuclear frameworks to rival global leaders.
