Purpose
The purpose of the Small Modular Reactor Special Interest Group (SMR SIG) is to support the development and deployment of small modular reactors, being any nuclear reactor technology to be deployed at sub-gigawatt scales with a modular build approach, in the UK.
The SMR SIG will bring together relevant experts and interested parties to develop thought leadership on matters within its scope of interest. In this way, the SIG will seek to provide advice to both the public and private sectors on how to maximise the potential of SMRs and overcome the associated challenges.
Scope of Interest
In support of its purpose, the SMR SIG will promote consideration of the following aspects of SMR deployment, to the extent that they present differentiated opportunities for SMRs:
- Build methodology;
- Licensing;
- Financing;
- Co-generation;
- Fleet operation; and
- International deployment.
