BOSTON, May 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuclear Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) aim to disrupt the nuclear industry, slashing the cost of nuclear energy to competitiveness with renewables + storage and making new decarbonization-enabling uses of nuclear power possible.

Key Points: 
  • BOSTON, May 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuclear Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) aim to disrupt the nuclear industry, slashing the cost of nuclear energy to competitiveness with renewables + storage and making new decarbonization-enabling uses of nuclear power possible.
  • Still, the question remains: in the emerging SMR market, will the agility of new players beat the embedded positions of the nuclear industry's existing giants?
  • IDTechEx's new report, " Nuclear Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) 2023-2043 ," predicts that 25% of nuclear-sourced electricity will come from SMRs in 2043, compared to a negligible percentage today.
  • The diversity of designs this rapid scaleup would breed is likely to involve a wide variety of organizations: IDTechEx surveyed 83 SMR projects from many different players.
