IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) A Utah energy cooperative said it will reduce the number of small modular nuclear reactors it will build in Idaho from 12 to six for a first-of-a-kind project that is part of a federal effort to reduce greenhouse gasses that cause climate change.
But Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems said the reactors will be more efficient than previously planned so the amount of power produced will only drop from 600 to 462 megawatts.
Cooperative spokesman LaVarr Webb told the Post Register in a story Friday that a plant with six reactors would be the right size for its members and outside utilities that want to join.
