ByRod Adams

Hyperion Power Generation, a company that has been covered extensively on Atomic Insights, has been talking for a couple of years about its plans to build hot tub sized reactors that can generate 70 MW worth of heat for 5-10 years without any new fuel. According to Nuclear Engineering International, they intend to build their first manufacturing facility in the UK, in a location that can let them take advantage of some of the existing nuclear plant component suppliers.

Read about it at Hyperion to build small reactor assembly facility in the UK. The drumbeat of positive announcements about new nuclear energy facilities goes on, despite the denials from those who oppose its use.
