Longtime anti-nuclear activist Harvey Wasserman got a lot more than he had bargained for in response to his latest diatribe, “Say No to Nuclear Power.”
Just as “Killing Our Own” was “a tragic tale of a hypothetical danger become a health disaster,” Wasserman’s latest is chock full of fantasies born out of his own imagination.
Robert Bryce reports that Rolls-Royce now expects to gain regulatory approval from the British government by 2024 for its 470-megawatt small modular reactor (SMR) and expects to begin producing power for the British grid by 2029. This is especially good news, Bryce says, because the SMR will have a power density 10,000 times less land than a wind power project of equivalent energy output and 1,000 times less than for a solar project.
