Nuclear reactors smaller than a semi truck to be tested in Idaho
SMRTR summary
The U.S. Department of Energy is partnering with Westinghouse and Radiant to test small microreactors at its new DOME facility in Idaho. These trailer-sized reactors, producing 1.2-5 megawatts of power, could potentially power remote sites or replace diesel generators. The experiments, set to begin in 2026, aim to advance microreactor technology for future commercial use.
