Details

In March 2015, government commissioned an independent Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA) of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in order to contribute to the evidence base and help inform policy decisions.

There are a total of 7 projects that make up the TEA:

• Project 1: Comprehensive analysis and assessment of SMRs. Led by Atkins
• Project 2: Systems optimisation modelling for SMRs. Led by the Energy Technologies Institute
• Project 3: Assessment of emerging SMR technologies. Led by the National Nuclear Laboratory
• Project 4: Assessment of UK regulatory regime for SMRs. Led by Checkendon Hill
• Projects 5-7: SMR Cost reduction study. Led by EY
  • Project 5 – Advanced manufacturing
  • Project 6 – Advanced assembly, modularisation and construction
  • Project 7 – Control, operation and electric systems
