Summary
The US military has its own certification process relevant to its needs, Waksman said. General Atomics is a defence contractor with a strong background in nuclear energy, but it’s also developing a new reactor for the army programme. Since June, five companies have brought SMR prototypes to the so-called “criticality” stage, when a reactor is capable of operating on its own, without an external energy source, and can, in theory, produce energy.
Furthermore, The government plans to install small nuclear reactors — also known as SMRs (small modular reactors) — at five “initial locations,” at a time when the US energy department is also promoting development of SMRs. The initiative is part of the Trump administration’s broader push to revive a US nuclear industry that has regained momentum but added little capacity in decades.
