Small modular reactors
(SMRs) are making headlines. The energy industry is starting to shift
its historic preference for large, stick-built, one-of-a kind reactors
to smaller reactors, made of standardized parts manufactured in
factories and fabricated into modules for on-site assembly. The
incremental capacity option offered by SMRs has caught the attention of
commercial utilities and government regulators in the U.S. and around
the world.
According to a research brief from Navigant Research, worldwide SMR capacity could grow to as much as 4.6 GW by 2030.
U.S. nuclear plant vendors are in a race to license their SMRs and deploy domestically, then export this new technology to a global market. This industry forum will profile the major American vendors and their business strategies for market success. National experts and opinion leaders will share views and opinions about the financial, political, and policy factors that must be in place for a U.S. SMR vendor to get to market.
From overcoming the hurdles of NRC licensing and public acceptance, to developing a commercial deployment strategy that can be leveraged to create jobs and a new nuclear industry sector for American suppliers, From Concept to Reality: Small Modular Reactors will offer the latest in thinking from insiders working to make this technology innovation a viable energy and economic engine for U.S. and global markets.
