The statement said the reactor will be there by 2027 at the latest, and while we don’t know its exact specifications yet, we do know that the program itself aims to build reactors with relatively low power, from one to five megawatts. By comparison, an ordinary nuclear power plant produces hundreds or even thousands of megawatts of power. There are also indications that the small reactor built for the US military will use safer and more efficient TRISO fuel. We’ve written more about it in context HTGR reactors, to be built in PolandSo, even in this context, it is worth following the initiative of the Americans.
