The nuclear industry is heading into 2021 with increased optimism around small modular reactors (SMRs) after a series of policy initiatives worldwide in recent weeks. The U.S., U.K. and Canada, three major nuclear markets, all signaled growing support for SMRs in the closing weeks of 2020.
Canada, for example, launched a 27-point SMR national action plan to demo and deploy the technology, update regulations, create employment and exploit foreign market opportunities.
