Abstract:

There is growing political support in the European Union for developing small modular reactor (SMR) technology as part of the concept of building a new nuclear architecture. SMRs can potentially become an important element of the EU’s technological sovereignty, combining low-carbon reindustrialisation with an efficient energy transition in the long to medium term. The opportunity to develop SMRs in the Union will require aligning regulation, increasing funding at the EU level, and improving the competitiveness of EU projects vis-à-vis the U.S. The anticipated launch of the first SMR is expected to occur in the late 2020s or early 2030s.
