“How can we make smaller reactors?”

 

When we think of Nuclear Engineering, we probably think about these big massive infrastructure projects. However, is it possible to make smaller versions? Well, thanks to continual investments in research by scientists and engineers, smaller reactors that can be built in a plant and assembled on site known as Small Modular Reactors, which have increased containment efficiency and heightened nuclear security.
