Popular Mechanics‘ Caroline Delbert analyzes five advanced nuclear reactors that will shape the future of energy.

- Advanced nuclear incorporates all the benefits of traditional nuclear energy but at a much smaller scale, making the manufacturing process shorter and more efficient.
- The Department of Energy has recently announced plans to invest $600 million into advanced nuclear over the coming years.
“The new reactor designs rushing into the scientific discourse deploy technology and even natural physics to make safer, often smaller designs that can be used in different contexts. And today, most of these projects with DoE funding are proofs of concept that could lead to commercial power plants down the line.”
