Five things the “nuclear bros” don’t want you to know about small modular reactors | RenewEconomy

"as I showed in my 2013 and 2021 reports, the hype surrounding SMRs is way overblown, and my conclusions remain valid today."

@anathema_device Yes, big questions over SMRs. But what about thorium reactors? Do they face similar problems?

@KarunaX dunno?

@anathema_device My limited information - and understanding of nuclear science - suggests that thorium is potentially a far more efficient, cheaper and safer alternative to traditional nuclear power. I note it is still NOT renewable, but may help satisfy energy demand in an acceptable way. At least for the interim, while better technology takes over. Eg https://yandex.eu/thorium%20reactor%20in%20china

@KarunaX I believe that it's not needed. We have plenty of renewable options. The only obstacle is investment in them
