Nuclear Reactors 225 - Switzerland Revises Ordinaces on Nuclear Liability Insurance
I have blogged about nuclear accident liability before. In the U.S., the Price-Anderson Act sets limits on the amount of money that nuclear utilities would have to pay in case of an accident. In India, a stringent liability law has been preventing international nuclear technology companies from doing business with India.

Nuclear Reactors 224 - U.S. President Supports Development of Small Modular Reactors
I have been blogging a lot lately about small modular nuclear power reactors (SMR). This is a new design concept in the nuclear industry. SMRs are defined as nuclear reactors that produce three hundred megawatts or less. One of the big selling points for these SMRs would be that they could be manufactured in factories and shipped in modules to their operational sites.
