Small Modular Reactors explained
Just making a post on this, as it may also be of interest to others looking at related careers. Sounds a good opportunity to get some great training in this field.
SMRs are defined as small nuclear reactors with a maximum output of 300 Megawatt electric (MWe) and can produce 7.2 million kWh per day. By comparison, large-size nuclear power plants have an output of over 1,000 MWe and can produce 24 million kWh per day. SMRs can vary in size from around 20 megawatts electric (MWe) up to 300 MWe and can use a range of possible coolants including light water, liquid metal or molten salt, depending on the technology.
A post on Fedi, highlights the EU support for Small Module reactors @Energy4Europe
The EU is supporting research and development of Small Modular Reactors via the Euratom Research and Training Programme,
