The small modular reactor (SMR) is a class of small nuclear fission reactor, designed to be built in a factory, shipped to operational sites for installation and then used to power buildings or other commercial operations.

Jan 9, 2023 · The company is now recognized as an international leader in the SMR space, having secured a whopping $80 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in 2020 to support the development of its groundbreaking Natrium nuclear reactor.

As the leader in small modular reactor (SMR) technology, we are ready to meet the rapidly growing power needs of data centers and AI. We're setting new standards in the nuclear industry with safer, more flexible options.

Sep 13, 2023 · Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW (e) per unit, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors. SMRs, which can produce a …

Jan 20, 2023 · The company’s power module becomes the first SMR design certified by the NRC and just the seventh reactor design cleared for use in the United States. The rule takes effect February 21, 2023, and it equips the nation with a new clean power source to help drive down emissions across the country.

Advanced Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are a key part of the Department’s goal to develop safe, clean, and affordable nuclear power options. The advanced SMRs currently under development in the United States represent a variety of sizes, technology options, capabilities, and deployment scenarios.

Mar 31, 2025 · Holtec’s SMR-300 unconditionally safe nuclear plant. “The small land requirement, merely 25 acres to house two SMR-300s and no need to surround the plant with an Exclusion Zone is particularly important for a well-populated country like India,” says Holtec’s President for Clean Energy Opportunities, Dr. Rick Springman, responsible for global adoption of SMR-300s including the US where ...

5 days ago · A small modular reactor (SMR) is a nuclear fission reactor that features factory-built-and-assembled modules in a variety of configurations and electricity outputs. About 1/10 to 1/4 the size of a traditional nuclear energy plant, SMRs feature compact, simplified designs with advanced safety features.

Feb 18, 2025 · Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a potential way forward. SMRs aim to deliver safe, reliable, and clean electricity. They do this by shrinking reactor size and standardizing construction. This approach reduces the risks and costs tied to …

Apr 22, 2024 · What is an SMR? SMRs are nuclear reactors designed to be smaller in size and power generation capacity than traditional reactors. Their modular design allows them to be built in a factory and then transported to the site of use, …
