Abstract
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are new lower-power, smaller-footprint reactor designs that seek to avoid the high costs and delays associated with nuclear power. This Science and Technology Policy Note considers opportunities and challenges associated with advanced nuclear power deployment in West Virginia, with a particular focus on SMRs at former coal sites.
