React FAQ

How America powers its cities.

React FAQ models how much electricity each U.S. metro uses and translates that demand into reactors, capital cost bands, and comparisons against today's grid mix.

Powering all of them with AP1000-class reactors would require 145 units.

That's roughly the capacity of every commercial reactor in the United States today, dedicated to just these 25 metros — home to 143 million people.
