Is a Nuclear Reactor Headed to the Heart of Your City?

Credit to Author: Aaron Larson| Date: Thu, 02 Mar 2023 17:33:33 +0000

It’s not uncommon for nuclear power plants to be sited relatively close to large metropolitan areas (within 50 miles, for example), after all, that is where the biggest loads are, but reactors are rarely placed near the center of large cities. This is mainly due to the risks associated with a meltdown, or even a […]
