  • India is taking steps for development of Small Modular Reactors (SMR), with up to 300 MW capacity to fulfill its commitment to Clean Energy transition.
  • Being mobile and agile technology, the SMR can be factory-built unlike the conventional nuclear reactors that are built on–site.
  • Thus, SMRs offers significant savings in cost and construction time.
  • SMR is a promising technology in industrial de-carbonization especially where there is a requirement of reliable and continuous supply of power.
  • It is said that SMR is simpler and safer as compared to large nuclear plants.
