47 Key Recommendations To fully understand the modalities required to deploy nuclear batteries on campus, MIT Facilities - in consultation with experts from the Nuclear Science and Engineering Department - should continue monitoring the readiness of commercial products, initiate discussions with local and state authorities and community representatives regarding acceptability and permitting requirements, and coordinate the effort with complementing decarbonization strategies. The estimated annual effort level is one person year. Further Reading Shropshire, David E., Geoffrey Black, and Kathleen Araújo. Global Market Analysis of Microreactors. No. INL/EXT-21-63214-Rev000.
