Small Modular Reactors Proposed to Address Maryland's Energy Crisis
Developers are considering small modular reactors (SMRs) as a solution to Maryland's energy crisis. These reactors, which use TRISO fuel, offer a potential path to sustainable and reliable energy. However, commercial deployment remains years away, as regulatory and technical challenges need to be addressed. The initiative is part of a broader effort to integrate nuclear energy into the state's energy mix, aiming to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and enhance energy security.
