Dairyland and Applied Atomics explore SMR technology at Genoa site
What happened
Dairyland Power Cooperative signed a letter of intent with Applied Atomics, Inc., to evaluate small modular reactor (SMR) technology at its site in Genoa. The collaboration aims to assess Applied Atomics' technology as Dairyland seeks safe, reliable, and low-carbon energy options. Dairyland would explore securing this carbon-free power through a purchase agreement from Applied Atomics.
