One way to make nuclear cheaper is with small modular reactors like these.

降低核能成本的方法之一就是 使用这种模块化的小型反应堆。

Some think the future of nuclear energy lies in modular reactors.

一些人认为核能的未来在于模块化反应堆。

Rolls-Royce said it had received enough investment from private partners to start building small modular reactors, or small nuclear power stations, in Britain.

劳斯莱斯表示，它已经从私人合作伙伴那里获得了足够的投资，可以开始在英国建造小型模块化反应堆或小型核电站。

SMRs or small modular reactors are any reactor that has a power output of 300  megawatts electric or less.

SMR 或小型模块化反应堆是任何功率输出为 300 兆瓦或更低的反应堆。

Small modular reactors would also allow increments of capacity to be gradually added as power needs increase over time.

小型模块化反应堆还可以随着电力需求的增加而逐渐增加容量。

According to the International Atomic  Energy Agency, there are already several small modular reactors  under construction around the world.

据国际原子能机构称，世界各地已经有几个小型模块化反应堆在建。

Several companies are working on small modular reactors, or SMRs, which promise  to make nuclear power much simpler and easier.

几家公司正在研究小型模块化反应堆 (SMR)，它们有望使核电变得更加简单和容易。

Small Modular Nuclear Reactors Could Gain Widespread Adoption Small modular reactors (SMRs) are a new class of smaller, cheaper, safer and more adaptable nuclear power plants.

小型模块化核反应堆可能获得广泛采用 小型模块化反应堆 （SMR） 是一类更小、更便宜、更安全和适应性更强的新型核电站。
