SMRs are compact nuclear reactors designed to be built in factories and shipped to sites for assembly, offering a scalable and efficient way to generate electricity and heat while minimizing environmental impact.
SMRs are smaller than traditional nuclear reactors, typically generating between 50 to 300 megawatts (MW) of electricity, compared to the thousands of MW generated by conventional reactors. This modular design allows for easy scalability, where multiple reactors can be added to meet growing energy demands without the large upfront costs and long construction times associated with traditional nuclear plants.
