Hold the boat! East Yorkshire could soon host a floating power plant, potentially housing a small modular reactor (SMR), at the Yorkshire Energy Park in Saltend. In partnership with major players, this novel marine-based power station would bolster energy supply, security, and local employment.
This isn’t whimsy, but solid strategy, adapting SMR technology into floating formats to bridge capacity gaps quickly and securely. Yes, nuclear floating vessels may conjure images of sci-fi subterfuge, but this is merely a clever lever in the clean-energy toolkit. A bump? Possibly, but more like a buoyant opportunity. The Anglosphere should hail this as proof that innovation floats, literally!
