Most people think that international communications are made using satellites. In reality 95% of these communications are carried by subsea cables. The only time we hear this is when they break for example when Tonga was disconnected, or when unexplained outages occur in the Baltic. This talk describes how these subsea cables developed from the telegraph era to today’s digital age where tiny glass fibres carry terabytes under the oceans.

SMRs are roughly a third of the size of a typical nuclear power plant with designs that may employ light water as a coolant or other non-light water coolants such as a gas, liquid metal, or molten salt that can be used for power generation, process heat, desalination and other industrial uses. Because of the simplicity and flexibility in design, SMRs offer lower upfront costs, enhanced safety and security, shorter lead and construction times, greater scalability and siting flexibility.
