Indiana’s Energy Transition: The Role of Small Modular Reactors
With a rapidly growing demand for power in the state, the market is looking at nuclear energy as a possible solution. Stated support from the State of Indiana, a Nuclear Summit hosted by Purdue University and local partnerships have identified Small Nuclear Reactors (SMR) as a potential source for additional electrical generation capacity. What is this technology? How is it different from traditional nuclear plants? How might it make an energy difference in Indiana? What is likely timing for SMR generation? How are these facilities designed and built? This session will address the swirling questions around this very interesting topic.
