Please join us to learn more about small modular nuclear reactors, including the costs and risks they pose to the Southeast, particularly at TVA’s Clinch River site in Tennessee and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, and to U.S. taxpayers. Hear expert analysis from and participate in a discussion with Dr. Arjun Makhijani, President of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research; Autumn Hanna, Senior Program Director at Taxpayers for Common Sense; Tom Clements, Southeast Nuclear Campaign Coordinator with Friends of the Earth; and Sara Barczak, High Risk Energy Choices Program Director with Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.

Baseload Power Myth
myth : Only nuclear can provide the continuous baseload needed because renewables are too intermittent.
Mythbuster:- Nuclear reactors spend on average more than 30% of their designated working life (DWL) offline, mostly because of safety problems. This is more than even wind or solar and in larger chunks at a time. The only way nuclear can provide continuous baseload is by having a number of reactors, at different locations for safety. Renewables, with a variety of technologies and locations is potentially able to better nuclear for continuous baseload provision.
