Small Modular Reactor UK Summit

The Small Modular Reactor (SMR) industry has been growing at a rapid pace over the last few years. Smaller in size, modular in build and significantly cheaper in terms of cost, these innovative reactors are the next generation of the nuclear industry. The UK can play a major role in the development of the SMR industry. Yet serious issues must be addressed before deployment within the UK can take place - Are SMRs commercially viable? What is the government appetite for SMR deployment? How can we develop a localized SMR supply chain? I thought you would want to review an eBrief with Gordon Waddington, author of NNL's SMR feasibility study to get an up-to-date picture of the UK SMR market - you can review the full eBrief here The paper will give you an outline of: + How SMRs can play a role in the UK energy Mix + The major challenges with SMR deployment + The opportunities for the UK in terms of the supply chain I do hope you find this useful, and I would love to hear your feedback.
