Nuclear waste from small modular reactors [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Small modular reactors (SMRs; i.e., nuclear reactors that produce <300 MW elec each) have garnered attention because of claims of inherent safety features and reduced cost. However, remarkably few studies have analyzed the management and disposal of their nuclear waste streams.
