This Micro Nuclear Reactor Could be Replacing Diesel Generators by 2026

A micro-sized nuclear reactor is currently being developed at Chalk River Labs in Ontario, Canada, and it could be ready to start replacing diesel power generation with clean electricity in remote mines and off-grid communities within 5 years.
