Nuclear Reactors 219 - The Push For Internationa Standards and Small Modular Reactors
One of the big problems with nuclear power is that there is very little standardization. Aside from some basic similarities, each nuclear power reactor is unique. It was assumed at the beginning of the nuclear age that over time and the construction of many reactors, a few optimized standard designs would emerge.
