Repurposing coal plants with nuclear energy provides benefits beyond electricity

SMRs are key to repurposing infrastructure at or near coal power plants. They provide a clean energy source that can be sited where needed, not where energy resources are available. Repurposing coal plants with nuclear energy provides several non-electricity related benefits, including supporting the economy of small towns, reducing environmental and health impacts, providing higher wage jobs, and potential for related industries like hydrogen production.
