Recently in Joule, Gilbert and Bazilian argue that nuclear microreactors could be developed to provide a commercially viable source of distributed electricity generation. While microreactors are technically feasible to construct, the options for providing the same energy services using lower-cost renewables and storage brings into question the necessity of developing a nuclear option.

我们应该资助核微反应器吗？

吉尔伯特（Gilbert）和巴济利安（Bazilian）最近在焦耳（Joule）中辩称，可以开发核微反应器以提供商业上可行的分布式发电来源。尽管微反应器在技术上可以建造，但使用低成本可再生能源和储存提供相同能源服务的选择却对开发核选择的必要性提出了质疑。
