Regulator Says It Wants To Prepare For SMR Deployment :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Finland’s nuclear regulator Stuk says it is preparing for the licensing of new power plant types because of the “national and international interest” in small modular nuclear reactors.
A working group established by the ministry of economic affairs and employment is investigating the need to develop the country’s nuclear energy legislation and one of the topics being discussed is how to make the licensing system better suited to the deployment of SMRs.
“Globally, significant investments are being made on the development of SMRs and the parties showing interest are not just traditional nuclear power companies – many new organisations, such as cities, municipalities and the process industry have also expressed interest in using SMRs for producing heat and power,” Stuk said.
