SMRs are small nuclear reactors built in factories for commercial use. Most common design is pressurized water reactor (PWR). Power output ranges from 5 MWe to 300 MWe per module. Can be designed for desalination or facility heating
Nuclear power uses fission, decay and fusion reactions to generate electricity. First nuclear power plant built in 1950s, first commercial plant in 1956. Global installed capacity grew from 1 GW in 1960 to 300 GW by 1990. Nuclear power supplied 2,602 TWh in 2023, second largest low-carbon source
Alkaline batteries use potassium hydroxide electrolyte with pH above 7. Derives energy from zinc metal and manganese dioxide reaction. Contains zinc and manganese dioxide, which can be toxic. Accounts for 80% of US battery production and over 10 billion units worldwide
New generation engine delivers up to 2% efficiency boost to 1,065 kWel. Achieves up to 43.3% efficiency on pipeline gas. Features reduced THC emissions and improved serviceability. Can be retrofitted to existing Type 3 fleet
France generates 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy. The country has 57 operational reactors with total capacity of 63,000 MWe. France is the world's largest net electricity exporter. About 17% of electricity comes from recycled nuclear fuel
Delivers up to 1,560 kW output and 1% additional efficiency compared to J420 B. Operates at voltages from 480V to 13.8kV. Features up to 44.0% electrical efficiency and 50.5% thermal efficiency. Dimensions: 6,700 x 2,300 x 2,500 mm
