small modular reactor

The British giant said its business restructuring programme delivers cost savings more quickly than previously anticipated

The collaboration will further explore the maturity of small modular reactor technology and the prospects for deployment of one or several such reactors in Estonia until 2035

The consortium is designing a low-cost factory-built nuclear power station, also known as a small modular reactor

The British multinational engineering company is leading a consortium that is designing a low cost factory-built nuclear plant

The firm said the deployment of small modular reactors could make build costs more predictable and affordable, lowering the price of electricity for consumers

The facility is expected to position the UK to take advantage of nuclear fission new build and small modular reactor deployment

A project management firm has been appointed by the UK Government to lead a £2.9 million research programme into the next generation of nuclear power. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) awarded the contract to Amec Foster Wheeler to use virtual engineering and high-performance computing to improve the design, development and construction of […]

Small modular reactors (SMR) could be operating in the UK by 2030 as there is potential for early deployment of the technology. However to make that happen, the government “has a crucial role” to play in encouraging early investor confidence, the Energy and Technologies Institute (ETI) said. Its report calls for the development of a strong […]
