Libbe HaLevy talks about the nuclear power modules Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMNRs) for AI Tech companies.
The power-generating small modules for new nuclear power plants are called Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). These are advanced nuclear reactors with a power capacity of up to 300 megawatts electric (MWe) per unit, roughly one-third the capacity of traditional nuclear reactors. SMRs are designed for modular construction, allowing factory assembly and on-site installation, which reduces costs and construction time. They can use various coolants, such as light water, liquid metal, or molten salt, and are suited for diverse applications like electricity generation, process heat, desalination, or hydrogen production. Examples include NuScale’s Power Module (50-77 MWe), Westinghouse’s AP300 (300 MWe), and Russia’s KLT-40S (35 MWe). Some designs, like microreactors (up to 20 MWe), are even smaller for niche or remote applications.
Peter Mingils interviews Nuclear Hotseat podcaster and author Libbe HaLevy. Libbe started her Nuclear Hotseat journey after she was about one mile away from Three Mile Island when that event happened. That event and the way the news covered it at the time, began a time of research, and identification of misinformation and coverups about the nuclear dangers. She has done hundreds of podcasts, written the same amount of posts on the topic. She is someone you have to listen to.
Here are ways to learn more about Libbe HaLevy and Nuclear Hotseat:
The Mission of Nuclear Hotseat is to support those groups and individuals that oppose nuclear in all its many forms with news, expert interviews, and an oppositional perspective on weapons, reactors, radioactive waste production, taxpayer bailouts to for-profit nuclear corporations, and all other aspects of the industry.
To that end, we pledge:
To provide only verifiable information, so it can be trusted to be accurate and current.
To interview experts who can explain the complexities of nuclear stories, and dig under the facile coverage of mainstream media to provide a more nuanced understanding of issues.
To provide context and continuity on stories, so that individual factoids and incidents can be seen as part of an overall pattern.
When mistakes have been made, issue retractions and corrections immediately.
Do whatever I can to keep the activist community in good heart without compromising the integrity of the information.
