Advanced Modular Reactors

Advanced Modular Reactors, or AMRs, are innovative designs that expand the green energy solutions nuclear can provide. AMRs are being developed to be very small, to use new fuel types and cooling agents, and to operate at very high temperatures. Nuclear, alongside wind, is the lowest carbon electricity source on earth. Nuclear also has by far the smallest land footprint of any green energy source.
