What is a Nuclear Microreactor? Microreactor designs vary, but most would be able to produce 1-20 megawatts of thermal energy that could be used directly as heat or converted to electric power. They can be used to generate clean and reliable electricity for commercial use or for non-electric applications such as district heating, water desalination and hydrogen fuel production. Other benefits: Seamless integration with renewables within microgrids Can be used for emergency response to help restore power to areas hit by natural disasters A longer core life, operating for up to 10 years without refueling Can be quickly removed from sites and exchanged for new ones Most designs will require fuel with a higher concentration of uranium-235 that’s not currently used in today’s reactors, although some may benefit from use of high temperature moderating materials that would reduce fuel enrichment requirements while maintaining the small system size. energy.gov
