Curious about the future of energy? Microreactors, tiny but mighty, could be a game-changer! These small-scale reactors can be built in factories and shipped to power remote areas, disaster zones, and our energy grid. In celebration of @nuclearsciweek, we're recapping some of our K-12 Educator Training webinars, like this one! Join Piyush Sabharwall of Idaho National Laboratory and moderator Eric Loewen from GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy as they break down how microreactors work and their potential for the future of clean energy. #Microreactors #CleanEnergy #STEMEducation #FutureOfPower #Nuclear #NuclearEnergy #NuclearSciWeek
