Small, modular, more affordable and faster to build than conventional reactors—could small modular reactors play a major role in expanding access to low-carbon energy and help achieve #NetZero emissions by 2050? Over 1000 participants from nearly 100 countries will gather next week for the first IAEA International Conference on Small Modular Reactors and their Applications. The conference will take stock of global SMR activities and discuss emerging challenges and opportunities. Sessions will co

SMR Final Rule Takes Effect Today

Advanced light-water SMRs are simply smaller, simplified versions of today’s reactors with a few key benefits👇 ➡️ Less Prep Time: SMR parts will be factory-made and shipped to site locations --- drastically reducing up-front costs for plant construction ➡️ Increased Access: Their compact designs can be built in locations that can’t support large reactors, allowing them to power smaller electricity markets and grids. ➡️ Flexibility: Some designs can be scaled up or down to meet energy demands.
