Very small special purpose reactors (SPRs) are under consideration by various entities for remote installations and communities. This type of plug-and-go resource requires inherently positive safety attributes and sound design. Such reactors may be transportable with fresh fuel to serve as a complete power “battery” and they may even be transportable on short notice after initial use. SPRs could eliminate costly and in some cases dangerous fossil fuel deliveries. Small passively safe reactors could be operated remotely by an offsite operations crew. While use cases for such reactors are currently under development, advanced manufacturing processes should be considered to support reactor economics.
