No Ocean Industrialization: Shut coal power plants would be ripe for new generation of small nuclear reactors

Recently shut U.S. coal-fired power plants could serve as sites for a new generation of small nuclear reactors, the head of the nation’s largest public power utility and a U.S. senator from West Virginia said on Wednesday. “I see those sites as very viable small modular reactor (SMR) sites,” Jeff Lyash, president and chief executive of the TVA,,, Shut coal power plants would be ripe for SMR development because of their available water resources and existing power grid connections, Lyash said. SMRs are regarded by some as a critical carbon-free technology that power grids will need to supplement intermittent sources like wind and solar.  >click to read< 13:52

    Lizzie Borden Vs. Lizzie Warren who would win a WOOD chopping contest??? The Tomahawks would have to be equal in stature and size… Lizzie B. was 5′ 4″ and 200lbs. Lizzie W. 5′ 8″ and 57 kg.
    Not much of a match… Lizzie Warren could surely tell a taller tale I’m sure!!!
