Promised Flexibility: Inside The Rise of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors, But Face Cost, Waste And Safety Challenges

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are being promoted as a flexible, climate-friendly energy source, but despite their promise of faster construction, smaller land use, and potential efficiency gains, major challenges remain — including cost, waste disposal, water use, and safety risks.Global deployment is accelerating, yet experts warn that SMRs may arrive too late and at too high a cost to
