Small Modular NUCLEAR Reactors. Climate Solution or Costly Distraction?
Small modular nuclear reactors may not have a large enough market to gain from the advantages of mass production, especially when there are multiple companies trying to do it around the world, splitting the market further.
Renewables combined with storage may be getting cheaper faster than progress on making small modular reactors profitable.

URGENT UPDATE – The Iran War Expert: The Most Dangerous Stage Begins Now
Trump may have gotten the US into a trap. He left the deal Obama made with Japan, and similar ones were on the offer, but he rejected them and instead chose war. Now the US may be stuck between either a massive ground invasion of Iran or Iran as a new great power.

Mehdi’s EXCLUSIVE interview with Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman On The War
Iran says that the reason they enriched uranium past the agreed upon amount was because Trump betrayed the deal Iran made with the United States. They only did it as retaliation for the United States backing out of an agreement both countries agreed to, not because they wanted a nuke.

Beyond the Narrative: Why Iran is China’s Eternal “Backup Plan” | Digging into China
China helped Iran start its nuclear program in the 1980s and continued helping them in the 1990s.
China has a business relationship with Iran. They are not actual friends.

How Trump decided to strike Iran
“A last chance to avert war with Iran played out Thursday in Geneva, where Trump administration officials told Iranian counterparts they must not take certain steps needed to build a nuclear bomb.
It didn’t go well.
As the U.S. delegation laid out its position that Iran couldn’t enrich uranium for the next 10 years, the Iranian side balked, said a senior Trump administration official who described the meeting on condition of anonymity.
Iran has an “inalienable right” to enrich uranium, Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, told the Americans. And the U.S. has an “inalienable right” to stop you, Steve Witkoff, a member of the U.S. delegation, replied.
After having heard the U.S. demands, Araghchi started yelling at Witkoff, who was accompanied at the meeting by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, among others, said the senior official.
“If you prefer, I can leave,” Witkoff said.
Araghchi’s representatives didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Afterward, the American delegation reported back to Trump what had happened. Trump was “nonplussed,” the senior official said.
By Saturday morning, the U.S. was at war.
…
“They weren’t willing to stop their nuclear research,” Trump said. “They weren’t willing to say they will not have a nuclear weapon. Very simple.””

Energy Department Moves To Fast-Track Advanced Nuclear Reactor Approvals
“Categorical exclusions mean that no National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental impact statement or environmental assessment is required before a project may be approved. This saves a lot of time and bureaucratic effort since compiling an environmental impact statement takes nearly three years on average to complete.
The May executive order adopts many of the recommendations on how to improve nuclear power licensing outlined in an April 2025 report by researchers associated with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Among other items, the report suggests clarifying that the DOE does not need Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval to “authorize any non-commercial demonstration nuclear reactor projects with no exceptions.”
Now, the DOE is issuing a notice for a new categorical exclusion that would apply to new advanced nuclear reactors sited on federal facilities and land. In support of this determination, the DOE finds that “advanced nuclear reactors have key attributes such as safety features, fuel type, and fission product inventory that limit adverse consequences from releases of radioactive or hazardous material from construction, operation, and decommissioning.””

Good News for Small Nuclear Reactors!
Small modular nuclear reactors may end up being a good idea, but they have problems. They require more shielding overall compared to one big reactor. As of yet, they haven’t been built with more speed. They produce energy less efficiently than one big reactor.
