Denver airport eyes small nuclear reactor to reach ‘greenest airport’ goals

AI Article Summary
Denver International Airport is exploring the feasibility of building a small modular reactor (SMR) on its campus to enhance its clean energy capabilities. The airport has issued a request for proposals to conduct a feasibility study for this potential energy solution, with hopes of transitioning to nuclear energy by 2045. The study aims to assess the viability, costs, risks, and regulatory requirements of such a project, which could make Denver the first airport to host an SMR. The initiative is part of Denver Airport's plan to meet the increasing energy demands of passenger traffic while committing to sustainability.
