Can Tiny Nuclear Reactors Power the World Safer & Cheaper?

Have you heard of Small Modular Reactors? SMRs are nuclear reactors that are smaller and have less power than those massive traditional nuclear reactors located everywhere in the U.S. and throughout the world. SMRs can be used to generate tons of electricity and process heat ultimately powering cities. SMRs are drastically smaller than traditional nuclear power plants like the ones found at San Onofre or Diablo Canyon in California. Proponents of these tiny nuclear reactors say they are much safer than the conventional nuclear power plants due all the safety features such as low power and operating pressure. As well SMRs can be transported and assembled as needed and they can be sited in locations that larger nuclear power plants cannot. Are SMRs a possible solution to our energy future?
