Clean Energy Project – Nuclear Battery Exhibition Towards a More Equal Future | Triennale Milano 2025 Since 2019, the Norman Foster Foundation team has explored the potential and application of microreactors or nuclear batteries. These compact power units, roughly the size of a shipping container, can generate 15 megawatts of heat and electricity, enough to power a Manhattan city block or a small town. A network of such autonomous units would provide energy security, reducing reliance on large, vulnerable power stations and transmission lines.
