And if the evolutionary approach does lower the risk of
a given small modular reactor, who can say whether reduced risks in individual power plants are outweighed by an overall global risk of dispersing a much greater number of nuclear reactors across the planet?
We are pleased to announce that URS Nuclear, a unit of URS Corporation's (URS) Energy & Construction Division, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Holtec International that
gives URS an important role in the development of Holtec's
small modular reactor, the SMR - 160.
