Next Generation Nuclear Reactors on the Drawing Board in Atomic City, Idaho Atomic City, a small town nestled between two national laboratories in southeastern Idaho, has long been the proving grounds for next generation nuclear reactors.
This seemingly innocuous setting belies the cutting edge research and development taking place here, with far reaching implications for global energy security and environmental sustainability.
The New Generation: Advanced Reactor Designs Under Development Several innovative reactor designs are being tested and refined in Atomic City, including the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) developed by Holtec International.
