| Summary, etc | The article discusses the potential of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) as a sustainable solution for achieving ‘Net Zero Emission’ goals by 2050, as highlighted in the United Nations Climate Change Conference. SMRs, including ‘Generation IV’ Reactors, offer advantages such as costeffectiveness, flexibility, and wider application beyond electricity generation. The article examines various SMR designs and their potential applications, ranging from land-based to marine environments, with countries like Russia and China leading in their development. While SMRs present advantages in terms of construction speed and flexibility, they also pose challenges, including regulatory, legal, and economic issues. Initiatives by organisations like the International Atomic Energy Agency aim to address these challenges and streamline the development of SMRs. India, aiming for clean energy and net-zero emissions by 2070, is considering SMRs as part of its nuclear energy strategy, with plans to involve the private sector in their development. However, the article emphasises the need for a holistic approach to address technical, operational, economic, and legal challenges for the successful commercialisation of SMRs and their integration into the global energy landscape.- Reproduced https://www.usiofindia.org/pdf/20240712152228.pdf |
