Nuclear power is no longer asking for a seat at the clean energy technology table. It has been given a chair. But the future zero-carbon contribution of nuclear energy rests increasingly on the deployment of small and modular reactors that are in many cases quite different from the existing global fleet of large reactors. Those…
