Small Modular Reactors advance in the nuclear world Dr Kelvin Kemm May 8, 2022 The first two decades of the 21st Century will go down in history as a time of amazing world confusion about energy supplies, particularly electricity. This is all due to electricity planning being done too much at a political policy level, and not by engineers and scientists. This in turn was linked to an inordinate fear of supposed man-induced climate change linked to fossil fuels, primarily driven by extreme green activist groups. Sadly, much scientific logic was trampled under the feet of street demonstrators, clamoring for Mother Nature’s natural energy: wind and solar. The result has been soaring electricity prices in many countries, and power shortages leading to blackouts, resulting in major economic and social upheaval. There has also been significant interference from European countries in the affairs of African and other countries around the world, insisting that developing countries adapt their energy usage to European policies. But as electricity prices soared, voters demanded political answers. Sober reflection resulted, and nuclear power began rapidly gaining major attention. Nuclear had suffered from severe anti-nuclear sentiment, largely driven by the same groups that advocated the romantic Mother Nature solutions, which clearly suffered the major disadvantages of being linked to the cycles of Mother Nature; day and night cycles, wind variability, rain, snow and cloud. When inter-country political problems erupted in Europe, a new fear raised its head: energy security. A pan-European electricity grid had evolved to such an extent that countries were so electrically interlinked that essentially no country controlled its own electricity supply. Countries are now realizing how dangerous it is not to have control over their domestic electricity.
