ARPA-E to award up to $35M to develop tools to transform operations and maintenance of advanced nuclear reactors

Green Car Congress

The reason is that although nuclear power is considered by many to be necessary to achieve a zero-carbon grid, nuclear power plants are comparatively cost-intensive in some markets. O&M is approximately 80% of a reactor’s total generating cost. O&M is approximately 80% of a reactor’s total generating cost.
