   Aug 9, 2024 · The NRC refers to light water reactor (LWR) designs generating 300 MWe or less as small modular reactors (SMRs). The NRC has engaged in varying degrees of pre-application activities with several SMR designers over the past several years. In August of 2020, the NRC approved a design for an SMR from NuScale Power, LLC.

   Are small modular reactors a big part of nuclear power's future?

   • For over a decade, we’ve heard that small reactors could be a big part of nuclear power’s future. Because of their size, small modular reactors (SMRs) could solve some of the major challenges of traditional nuclear power, making plants quicker and cheaper to build and safer to operate. That future may have just gotten a little closer.
