Another firm, Moltex Energy, has  gone a step further by designing an SMR that's fuelled by recycled nuclear waste.

另一家公司 Moltex Energy 更进一步，设计了一种以回收核废料为燃料的 SMR。

At 345MW, TerraPower's tech  is arguably too big to be an SMR but it's still much smaller  than a regular power station.

TerraPower 的技术为 345 兆瓦，可以说太大而不能成为 SMR，但它仍然比普通发电站小得多。

You can use an SMR to power something which needs a lot of juice, like a factory,   without having to be hooked into the grid.

您可以使用 SMR 为需要大量电力的设备（例如工厂）供电，而无需接入电网。

Despite the challenges, NuScale's first SMR  project at the Idaho National Laboratory is scheduled to start providing power by 2029  and other firms have set similar timelines.

尽管面临挑战，NuScale 在爱达荷国家实验室的第一个 SMR 项目计划于 2029 年开始供电，其他公司也设定了类似的时间表。

But new ideas are desperately needed to battle the  climate crisis, and whether or not SMR technology ends up making a difference, you can see why  it's starting to generate so much excitement.

但是，迫切需要新的想法来应对气候危机，无论 SMR 技术最终是否有所作为，您都会明白为什么它开始引起如此多的兴奋。
