Encyclopedia of Earth – Small Power Reactors

ByRod Adams

Sometimes I forget just how many people have recognized that there is a potential market for smaller nuclear power plants. A friend of mine sent me a link recently to an excellent summary of the publicly available information about a myriad of projects from more than a dozen different countries. You can find the article on the Encyclopedia of Earth site under the title of Small Nuclear Power Reactors. (I did a “vanity search” on the article and found a note about the Adams Engine. Though it is brief, the comment is accurate.)
