Microgrids powered by advanced nuclear technology offer a promising solution to meet the growing demand for reliable, clean energy. But this small-scale approach to nuclear power can fulfill its potential only if it can overcome three key challenges: cost, build time, and public perception. This episode dives deep into these challenges and provides an overview of the financial, operational, and environmental ramifications of nuclear-powered microgrids.

• Discover how cost misconceptions are countered by simplified design, factory-prefabrication, and fuel recycling
• Examine how small nuclear power projects navigate Federal, State, and local permit requirements
• Determine why small nuclear power plants are walk-away safe and how they cool themselves without relying on people, pumps, or mechanical systems to remove heat
