Retrofitting Coal Power Plants With Small Nuclear Reactors

Higher steam pressures and temperatures can match coal combustion performance.

Nuclear energy is enjoying a resurgence. Some nations are deferring the retirement of reactors and other countries are developing new generation fission designs that are safer and more cost-effective than current technology. By retrofitting existing coal-fired power plants, new small modular reactors, or SMRs, may be at the forefront of this development.
