Efficiency and Cost Benefits of Micro Reactors

Micro reactors have the potential to lower electricity costs significantly by addressing regulatory challenges, with the possibility of reaching as low as 40 cents per kilowatt hour. They offer benefits such as nonproliferation and safety, primarily using high assay low enriched uranium as fuel. Despite the expensive manufacturing cost of this fuel, micro reactors have a different cost breakdown compared to grid-scale nuclear, with fuel costs comprising a significantly larger portion of the total operating cost, ranging from 40% to 65%.
