ENERGY officials hope to generate 2,400 megawatts of power using small modular reactors by 2032.SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW per unit, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of a conventional nuclear power reactor and physically a fraction of its size.Energy Assistant Secretary Mario Marasigan said SMRs offer several advantages, including enhanced safety features, scalability and efficient waste management.
Nuclear power, they said, is inconsistent with the goals of DoE to modernize the country's power sector, which emphasizes flexible and distributed generation. They argue that nuclear power, being a baseload power source, is not compatible with the country's variable load profile and could lead to more outages.
