Electric semitrucks could revolutionize the transportation industry. But not until a convenient source of electricity is found. Could mini nuclear reactors at rest stops solve this problem?
Nuclear engineer Mitch Farmer has been selected as a fellow by the American Nuclear Society for his work to improve light water reactor development, design and safety.
The laboratory’s research helped avoid $1 billion in potential costs for boiling water reactors in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, keeping power plants running while ensuring safety.
