Using solar and wind power could save the world, but the 'intermittency problem' when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow could leave people without power for days. But nuclear power could solve the intermittency problem.
Though there’s a lot of excitement surrounding SMRs, it remains an unproven technology. Allison Macfarlane, former chair of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, told The Daily Beast it could take a “long time” for this technology to develop.
Allen echoed these sentiments. “I think we’re going to start seeing demos within the next decade,” Allen said. “When will any of them get broad commercial deployment? We’ll see.” “Technologically,” he said, “we know that these reactors work,” since they’re more or less scaled-down versions of generation 3 reactors—which are the kind of traditional reactor we build today. “These SMRs are scaled-down versions of things people know how to build and work.”
