August 13 , 2024 103 days 172 0
  • The Indian government is planning to team up with the private sector to study and test small modular reactors (SMRs).
  • SMRs, of 10 MWe-300 MWe each, are smaller versions of their conventional counterparts.
  • They can be installed without time and cost overruns, and can consume power locally at the SMR site.
  • Their ability to integrate with RE can offer a resilient grid and manage the intermittency, the cost being around 4/kWh.
