- Amazon and Energy Northwest announce plans to develop advanced nuclear . . .
RICHLAND, Wash – Amazon (Nasdaq; AMZN) and Energy Northwest, a public power agency leading in the development of next-generation nuclear technologies, today announced an agreement to fund efforts to move toward development and deployment of small modular reactor (SMR) technology in Washington state to advance reliable energy across the Northwest
- NuScale Power’s Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Achieves Standard Design . . .
Uprated SMR design will support a wider range of off-takers and consumers seeking clean energy through small modular reactor technology NuScale remains the only SMR technology company to have received approval from the NRC for its SMR technology design; today’s announcement marks NuScale’s second design approved by the United States’ nuclear regulator

Illustration of a light water small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) The small modular reactor (SMR) is a class of small nuclear fission reactor, designed to be built in a factory, shipped to operational sites for installation, and then used to power buildings or other commercial operations The term SMR refers to the size, capacity and modular construction
- What are Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)? | IAEA
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW (e) per unit, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors SMRs, which can produce a large amount of low-carbon electricity, are:

What are Small Modular Reactors? A small modular reactor (SMR) is a nuclear fission reactor that features factory-built-and-assembled modules in a variety of configurations and electricity outputs About 1 10 to 1 4 the size of a traditional nuclear energy plant, SMRs feature compact, simplified designs with advanced safety features
- Think small: Why America should bet on small modular reactors
To reach their potential, SMRs will require effective support across the entire development cycle — and a sustained commitment based on bipartisan, long-term political backing
- What is SMR? The Ultimate Guide to Small Modular Reactors
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a potential way forward SMRs aim to deliver safe, reliable, and clean electricity They do this by shrinking reactor size and standardizing construction This approach reduces the risks and costs tied to traditional nuclear plants
