About this video
The concept of small modular reactors isn't brand new but it has recently attracted new attention from Wall Street, and even from Energy Secretary Steven Chu. One of the companies that sees promise in these systems is NuScale Power. They're offering nuclear stations built in 45-megawatt modules -- each an independent little reactor. CEO Paul Lorenzini discusses with Executive Editor Margaret Ryan the technology.
