While I did not propose that Google build a nuclear lab, I felt certain that we could contribute in other ways. It seemed to me that recent improvements in reactor designs gave nuclear plants even more potential to deeply decarbonize societies at reasonable cost, while operating safely and dealing with nuclear waste in a responsible way.

Additive manufacturing typically creates parts and components by building them layer by layer, based on a 3D computer model that is virtually sliced into many thin layers. The process offers advantages such as reduced material waste, lower energy intensity, reduced time to market and just-in-time production.
