But what exactly does SMR mean? And why does this technology generate so much interest?
SMR = Small Modular Reactor. In other words, a low-power nuclear reactor designed to be modular, more flexible and faster to deploy than traditional reactors.
Why are SMRs revolutionizing nuclear power?
- Modular: factory-built, transportable and assembled on site;
- Compact: suited to local or industrial energy needs;
- Flexible: faster to build, simpler to integrate;
- Decarbonized: they produce electricity or heat with no CO2 emissions.
An ideal solution for industry
SMRs supply decarbonized industrial heat, directly on site, for many industrial sectors.
By combining energy performance, sovereignty and emissions reduction, SMRs are establishing themselves as a key technology to accelerate the energy transition. Our project is fully part of this momentum, putting nuclear innovation at the service of industry.
