The Rise of Micro Modular Reactors (MMRs) in a Sustainable Future
In the ever-evolving landscape of energy production, a new contender has emerged, promising to revolutionize how we think about nuclear power: the Micro Modular Reactor (MMR). An MMR is a compact, nuclear-based power source designed to provide energy with efficiency and minimal waste. MMRs are not just smaller...
