"Even casual followers of energy and climate issues have probably heard about
the alleged wonders of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs).
This is due in no small part to the “nuclear bros”: an active and seemingly
tireless group of nuclear power advocates who dominate social media discussions
on energy by promoting SMRs and other “advanced” nuclear technologies as the
only real solution for the climate crisis.
But as I showed in my 2013 and 2021 reports, the hype surrounding SMRs is way
overblown, and my conclusions remain valid today.
Unfortunately, much of this SMR happy talk is rooted in misinformation, which
always brings me back to the same question: If the nuclear bros have such a
great SMR story to tell, why do they have to exaggerate so much?"
