A nuclear microreactor is a compact, modular nuclear reactor designed for generating electricity or heat on a small scale. Typically, these reactors have a capacity of less than 10 megawatts thermal, making them significantly smaller than traditional nuclear power plants. Here are some key features and characteristics of nuclear microreactors: 1. **Modularity**: Microreactors are designed to be modular, allowing for easy scalability and deployment in various applications.
