The international SMR and advanced reactor market

Hi Michele,
The international SMR and advanced reactor market has much to offer and with an estimated market value of over £400bn by 2035. Many companies are racing to deploy their technologies first around the world, establishing themselves as leaders in next generation nuclear.
Nuclear Energy Insider has interviewed some of the frontrunners in international SMR and AR deployment, as part of a new whitepaper on the market prospects for next gen nuclear.

Here’s a summary of what’s in the whitepaper:
  • Project highlights: Get insights from Moltex Energy, Rolls-Royce and TerraPower into their exciting new projects, including the potential markets for future deployment such as the US, Canada, China and the UK
  • Global outlooks: Understand the changing landscape of the energy market and how the nuclear renaissance has been hampered by high financing costs for nuclear projects leading many to explore the lower cost option of advanced reactors, with projected capital costs at around US$1-2 billion
  • Overcoming construction and manufacturing challenges: Get to grips with how the industry is seeking to make existing process that are code qualified for nuclear smarter and more efficient, as well as exploring new breakthroughs in technology such as additive manufacturing and electron-beam welding which all has the potential to drastically reduce SMR deployment timescales and costs
Many thanks,
