Nuclear Power From Many Small Reactors

The solutions to the world’s “clean energy” problem (or the “dirty energy” problem, depending on how you look at it) look like a combination of many distributed efforts to generate electricity and store it.  One neat example is from Babcock and Wilcox which has a process to manufacture small (~150MW) nuclear reactors that can be strung together as needed to generate more energy.  So instead of building a huge nuclear powerplant (>1000MW) with a proportional financial risk, a bunch of smaller reactors can be set up as the reactors are needed and proven profitable.  The future electrical grid will likely need to be upgraded so that power generation on a large distributed network is possible (as opposed to at few centralized powerplants).
