Purdue study identifies Indiana sites for transitioning from coal to nuclear energy, promising economic and environmental benefits.

Purdue University researchers identified eight potential sites in Indiana for repurposing from coal to small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). This transition could provide cheaper, carbon-free energy and boost the economy with high-paying jobs, though challenges like high initial costs and regulatory hurdles exist. The study suggests state leaders create incentives for nuclear component manufacturing and foster partnerships for SMR development.
