Factory-built nuclear reactors can cut costs, think tank says
As the world steamrolls toward more nuclear power, countries looking to cut costs must do a better job of planning — in part by building reactors in factories instead of on site, a new study says.
Why it matters: The Nuclear Innovation Alliance study says a successful nuclear build-out could slash costs similar to the way the aerospace industry did decades ago while "unlocking the scale of low-carbon power needed for global decarbonization."
