Small nuclear energy is slipping in the United States

Small atomic energy is offered by officials and specialists, as an alternative to large reactors. It’s easier to provide the centers of AI.

The US Energy Minister was not the only person advocating the construction of compact nuclear reactors, Xrust writes. Such devices are advertised by both specialists and large technological companies. Small nuclear reactors are seen by many, as a solution to the problem of power supply to the centers of AI.

Small modular reactors say that this technology is cheaper and faster than today's nuclear power plants. After all, small reactors are planned to be mounted from serial components. Large nuclear power plants contain a large number of parts that are not amenable to standardization, according to the USA.

In fact, the problem is in another. After the construction of a large nuclear power plant will have to develop networks of all stresses. And these in the USA have not been updated for a couple of decades. After all, the loads were stable. If the owners of AI are invested in the development of networks, then the rise in the cost of business is inevitable.

Experts note that the successful introduction of analogues in Russia and China is associated with the centralization of government efforts. The American economy is built on freedoms.
