ARPA-E awarding up to $24M to 10 projects to support advanced nuclear power plants

Green Car Congress

These plants are all conventional light water reactors (LWR), the technology of which has evolved steadily over time. In the building phase, cost savings may be realized through modular and advanced manufacturing techniques that bring most of the work to the factory instead to the construction site.
