NNWI Evening Reception: Navigating the Future of Small Modular Reactors

Whilst evidence is mounting that SMRs as part of the global nuclear fleet are vital for achieving net-zero by the middle of the century, the emerging SMR sector is facing a complex interplay of technological, economic, and geopolitical factors that influence, and to some extent constrain, the technology adoption and scalability.

SMRs can lead the way in decarbonization and are at the heart of the new nuclear power transformation. Based on proven reactor designs, their small scale, modular construction, and high-power density makes them ideal for broad scale deployment for a variety of use cases, applications, and industries.
