     Small modular reactors (SMRs) are defined as nuclear reactors that generate three hundred megawatts or less. There has been a lot on interest and investment in developing these reactors as a better choice for the use of nuclear power to offset carbon emission than construction of more big conventional nuclear power reactors now in use.

Part 1 of 3 Parts
      Most of my posts about nuclear energy concern the generation of electricity. Other uses such as creation of isotopes used in medical diagnosis and treatment or for the generation of heat for residential and business buildings. Today I am going to talk about several other possible uses of nuclear energy.

Nuclear Fusion 65 - University of Rochester Researchers Study Computer Simulations Of Inertial Confinement Fusion

    My last post was about computer modeling of currents in tokamak plasmas. This post will be addressing computer modeling of the effects of laser beams on plasmas in a different approach to nuclear fusion.
