What are Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)? | IAEA The IAEA’s Technical Working Group on Small and Medium Sized or Modular Reactors (TWG-SMR) and the SMR Regulators' Forum unites experts to discuss challenges and share experiences related to the development and future deployment of SMRs The IAEA fosters sustainable nuclear energy development
Small modular reactors (SMR) | IAEA Small and medium-sized or modular reactors are an option to fulfil the need for flexible power generation for a wider range of users and applications Small modular reactors, deployable either as single or multi-module plant, offer the possibility to combine nuclear with alternative energy sources
¿Qué son los reactores modulares pequeños (SMR)? Los SMR tienen pocas necesidades de combustible Las centrales nucleares basadas en SMR pueden necesitar recargar combustible con menor frecuencia, cada 3 a 7 años, frente al intervalo de 1 a 2 años de las centrales convencionales Algunos SMR están diseñados para funcionar durante un lapso de hasta 30 años sin recargar combustible
IAEA Launches SMR School as Africa Looks to Nuclear Energy Hosted by the government of Kenya, the first such small modular reactor (SMR) workshop, known as an SMR School, took part in Nairobi from 5-9 May with a focus on African countries, with 28 participants including officials, policy makers and managers of organizations implementing nuclear programmes in Kenya, Ghana, Niger, Nigeria, Uganda and Zambia

Nuclear Power for the Future: New IAEA Publication Highlights Status of . . . Two other SMR frontrunners in Argentina and China are due to begin operation within the next three years Argentina, China and Russia presented their progress on SMR technology in the webinar The Akademik Lomonosov became the world’s first SMR power plant to enter commercial operation when it was connected to the grid in Russia’s remote
Five Reports of the SMR Regulators’ Forum Published Four of the reports developed by the Small Modular Reactor Regulators’ Forum (SMR RF) working groups cover key areas, such as the importance of integrating security, safeguards and safety considerations at the early design stages; assessing the impact of the introduction of SMRs on the conduct of authorized activities by licensees, including
IAEA Event Explores Importance of Stakeholder Engagement for SMRs During a panel session at the event in Vienna last month, SMR vendors and developers, government representatives, radioactive waste management organizations, and leaders of communities hosting or planning to host nuclear facilities, including SMRs, discussed the various facets of stakeholder engagement for SMRs
IAEA Presents New Platform on Small Modular Reactors and Their . . . With more than 70 SMR designs under development in 17 countries and the first SMR units already in operation in Russia, SMRs and their smaller cousins, microreactors (MRs), are forecast to play an increasingly important role in helping the global energy transition to net zero Still, the technology, its safety and economic competitiveness must
Nuclear power’s comeback is down to small modular reactors | World . . . The fledgling SMR industry could play an important role in scaling up global nuclear capacity Traditional nuclear reactors take many years to bring online and require many decades of use to produce a return on the high capital costs needed to build them
