$400M Boost Pushes Small Nuclear Reactors at Tennessee's Clinch River

Source: timesfreepress.com

Tennessee is racing ahead with small modular reactors - compact nuclear power plants that are safer and quicker to build than old-school giants. The federal grant and state cash aim to kickstart the first one at Clinch River, a ready-to-go site in Oak Ridge. This could make Tennessee a hub for next-gen nuclear power as demand for reliable clean energy surges.
