Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) The IAEA defines SMRs as 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.
Advanced nuclear power technologies such as small modular reactors (SMRs) and microreactors, a subset of SMRs, have the potential to play a key role in the coming nuclear power expansion. The high case scenario of the IAEA''s latest projections sees nuclear electrical generating capacity in 2050 being two and a half times greater than today.

Abstract: This report explores the decarbonization of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) campus microgrid through the optimal deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
Small modular reactors are a viable solution to produce decarbonized and cost-effective electricity to compensate for the intermittent nature of renewable sources such as wind and solar. SMRs including microreactors will play an important role in ensuring the security of the world''s energy supply as well as its transition to net zero.
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs): Exploring the Capacity Factor. Small modular reactors (SMRs) have been gaining traction in recent years, with many countries exploring their potential as a means to diversify their energy portfolios and reduce carbon emissions. A key performance indicator for any power generation technology is its capacity factor
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are a flexible and efficient alternative to larger nuclear plants. They offer benefits like lower capital investment, improved safety features, and grid stability. Samsung C&T is becoming a key player in the global SMR market with the recent announcement of a collaborative project in Romania.
sources such as solar and wind, providing a platform for their wider deployment. Global interest in SMRs is rising, with units already deployed in China and the Russian Federation and more than 68 active designs1, according to the IAEA''s Advanced Reactor Information System Database (ARIS), at different stages of development around the world, although not all of them are
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are one of these technologies. What are SMRs? SMRs are defined as small nuclear reactors with a maximum output of 300 Megawatt electric (MWe) and can produce 7.2 million kWh per day. By comparison, large-size nuclear power plants have an output of over 1,000 MWe and can produce 24 million kWh per day.

A key driver of interest in SMRs is the claimed economies of scale in production, due to volume manufacture in an offsite factory. Some studies instead find the capital cost of SMRs to be equivalent to larger reactors. Substantial capital is needed to construct the factory – ameliorating that cost requires significant volume, estimated to be 40–70 units.
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are emerging as an option for cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions.
