The Idaho National Laboratory—key in nuclear research—is used by many companies for testing reactor cores, fuels, and components.

Summary

  1. Smaller, faster, and more cost-effective reactor designs are being tested.
  2. Commercializing advanced reactors is difficult.
  3. Faces challenges in reviving the nuclear industry, including a major small modular reactor project's cancellation due to costs and regulatory delays.
