👉 The Prime Project is an initiative by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of advanced nuclear technologies, particularly small modular reactors (SMRs) and other innovative nuclear systems. It focuses on reducing costs, improving safety, and enhancing the sustainability of nuclear energy. The project involves collaboration between federal agencies, private companies, and research institutions to streamline regulatory processes, foster innovation, and bring these next-generation nuclear solutions to market more efficiently. By leveraging cutting-edge research and development, the Prime Project seeks to position nuclear energy as a reliable, low-carbon source of power that can complement renewable energy sources and support global decarbonization efforts.
