Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), a next-generation nuclear power plant design, are gaining attention as a way to meet the rapidly growing electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence (AI). A ...

The United States, the United Kingdom, China, and Russia are investing heavily in SMR development as part of broader nuclear expansion strategies. China and Russia remain the only countries with ...

Small modular reactors, or SMRs, are essentially miniature nuclear power plants. They can be built faster than larger conventional nuclear facilities. And while typically more expensive on a ...

Rolls-Royce SMR has won a "multi-billion pound" contract to build three small modular nuclear reactors for Sweden, marking a major step in the British engineering group's ambition to become a leading ...

The first American electric plant powered by small modular nuclear reactors is under development to connect to the PJM Interconnection regional grid that includes Maryland. But an operational date of ...

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has become the first American power utility authorized to ...

Construction has begun on Ontario’s Darlington SMR site, featuring four 300-MW GE Vernova BWRX-300 reactors. The first unit is targeted for operation by 2030, marking the first commercial grid-scale ...

The NRC has approved construction of the first commercial small modular reactor in the U.S. What the BWRX-300 can do and why A.I. data centers are betting on SMRs.

SMRs are compact nuclear reactors designed to produce up to 300 MWe per unit. By comparison, conventional nuclear power plants typically generate more than 1,000 MWe. SMRs are much smaller than ...
