SMR Deployment in the Context of European Energy Transition

Nuclear energy has finally staged a powerful - though long overdue - comeback. At the COP28 conference in Dubai, 22 countries, including the U.S., UK, Japan, South Korea, and France, signed a declaration that recognizes “the key role of nuclear energy in achieving global net-zero” and pledged to triple their nuclear capacity by 2050. The measure indicates an emerging global consensus on the critical role of nuclear power in energy transition. 

The declaration includes a specific commitment to “small modular and other advanced reactors” and promises to support their development and construction. This webinar explored the future of SMRs deployment in the context of European energy transition.
