Presenter described many new reactors as significantly smaller than conventional light‑water plants and said microreactors are "suited for data centers, advanced manufacturing, remote mining, military bases, and other power hungry applications."
Speakers named specific demonstration units headed for INL test beds, including compact systems designed to replace diesel generators and to operate with long intervals between refueling. The briefing emphasized that microreactors aim to enable factory production, transportability and deployment to hard‑to‑serve locations.
