Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) represent a paradigm shift in nuclear technology by offering scalable designs and streamlined deployment processes. In addition, they present a massive potential for nuclear energy/reactor deployment over the next 5-10 years in very diverse areas of our economy, from electricity production to process heat! Together with our panelists, we'll dive into the envisioned applications for SMRs, which design criteria was considered, and where these reactors can take the next big step!
