โœฆ Synopsis

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited is currently developing small (2 to 20 MWt), simple, and safe nuclear reactors for space-heating and electricity production. Desalination is another potential role. A 10 MWt nuclear reactor could be combined with a fairly large multistage distillation plant to produce about 2900 cubic metres of fresh water per day.

The SLOWPOKE Energy System is particularly suitable for remote arid sites where cheap conventional energy is not available. Successful evolution of small safe nuclear reactors could well be an important factor in the implementation of desalination over the next few decades.
