Small Modular Reactor
A Small Modular Reactor (SMR) is a type of nuclear reactor that is smaller in size and power output compared to traditional nuclear reactors. Typically, SMRs generate up to 300 megawatts of electricity, making them suitable for smaller grids or remote locations. Their modular design allows for factory production and easier transportation, which can reduce construction costs and time.
SMRs are designed with enhanced safety features, often incorporating passive safety systems that require minimal human intervention in emergencies. This makes them an attractive option for countries looking to expand their energy sources while minimizing environmental impact and improving energy security.
