The REOWER Initiative, led by Terra Praxis with partners, Bryden Wood, MIT, Microsoft and University at Buffalo, is developing transformative design and construction solutions aimed at retrofitting existing coal-fired power plants with new advanced (reactor) heat sources, while still retaining the substantial societal and economic value of the existing power plant infrastructure.
The process focuses on efficiency and cost effectiveness as the means to overcome deployment barriers and replace coal with nuclear power sources, creating a viable path to sustainable, reliable energy for those economies still reliant on coal-fired power.
