Modular Reactor Design

Modular reactor design involves building nuclear reactors from prefabricated, standardized units called modules, which are manufactured off-site and then assembled on location. These modules are small, scalable, and can be combined to meet different energy needs. This approach improves safety, reduces construction time, and allows easier upgrades or expansions. By using multiple smaller reactors instead of one large one, modular designs offer greater flexibility and can be more cost-effective. Essentially, it’s like assembling a structure from ready-made building blocks, making nuclear energy more adaptable and accessible while maintaining safety and efficiency.
