RollsRoyce Secures Deal To Build Small Nuclear Reactors For Sweden
News Source : Slashdot.org
News Summary
- It probably won't happen anyway.
- RR are getting a lot of money for R&D, but nobody (including RR) has figured out how to make these things viable.
- Too expensive, worse fuel and waste problems than traditional reactors.
- Even if they do somehow overcome all the issues, by the time they are ready to start delivering they will be completely irrelevant anyway.
- The share rate at which renewables and storage are advancing means nothing else has much of a futu.
- All these new and experimental reactor designs boil down to requiring a material that doesn't exist.
Following a rigorous selection process that started in 2022, UK engineering giant RollsRoyces nuclear division, RollsRoyce SMR, won the contract to build nuclear reactors for Sweden.
