Reading about Small  Modular (Nuclear) Reactors – SMR’s

 An Essential Component of a Comprehensive Energy Program. 

 CT.org believes nuclear energy is one of the sustainable sources of energy that will provide safe, cheap electrical power complementing wind and solar sources, as the readings discuss. 

 A Concept. 

The idea of a comprehensive, long-range energy program relies on considering all possibilities, relying on best available information and understanding the best application for each source of energy, i.e., using each energy source for its best application. 

• A comprehensive plan includes a breadth and depth of analysis applied to every available source of energy. Energy sources, infrastructure, supply chains, technologies and adverse impacts all require examination and evaluation. 
• A long-range plan extends the current understanding of resources decades into the future. There are many “knowns” that can be extrapolated decades into the future; and there are many “unknowables” that need to be gamed with scenario planning methods.
