Towards a decarbonized industry thanks to an SMR (Small Modular Reactor), a low-power, heat-generating and innovative nuclear reactor!
NUVIA and the CEA are proud to announce a new milestone for the ARCHEOS project, which is moving from a research-and-development phase to an industrial phase.
ARCHEOS is a heat-generating SMR based on the proven pressurized-water reactor technology. It embodies the future of industrial nuclear power: safe, modular, competitive and decarbonized.
Decarbonizing industry is no longer an option, it is a strategic necessity — for our planet and for our economy. ARCHEOS aims to provide low-carbon, stable and competitive industrial heat, enabling manufacturers to transform their processes sustainably. Heat is today a heavily carbon-based form of energy, relying essentially on fossil fuels. It is time to change that.
Our commitment to ARCHEOS reflects our determination to:
- structure the industrial SMR sector;
- reduce the carbon footprint of manufacturers;
- strengthen France’s energy sovereignty.
The nuclear power of tomorrow is being built today. And it serves industry.
