Consensus is growing that nuclear could play an important role in meeting net-zero goals. Companies are racing to deploy small modular reactors (SMRs) with the promise of lower costs and faster build times than large, conventional reactors. But despite the positive momentum for new nuclear reactors, their promise of offering simplicity and standardization has yet to be tested. Several actions will likely need to be considered across financing, supply chain and regulation for the industry to scale up significantly. |
