Pikkureaktoreiden
Pikkureaktoreiden, meaning "small reactors" in Finnish, refers to a category of nuclear reactors designed to be significantly smaller in physical size and often lower in power output than traditional, large-scale nuclear power plants. These reactors are typically developed for niche applications or as alternatives to conventional energy sources. Their reduced footprint and modularity are key characteristics, enabling them to be deployed in diverse locations or for specialized purposes.
The concept of small reactors has gained traction due to several potential advantages. These include enhanced
Applications envisioned for pikkureaktoreiden range from powering remote communities and industrial sites to providing process heat
