What has to work
The main technical capabilities that define progress in this industry.
Passive safety systems
Prototype validatedNatural circulation and passive cooling shape the safety case for many SMR designs.
Regulators are testing how existing safety rules apply to smaller reactor architectures.
Factory fabrication
Pilot deploymentsRepeatable module manufacturing is central to the SMR cost and schedule thesis.
Commercial proof depends on serial production, not one-off demonstration builds.
Licensing standardization
Pilot deploymentsReusable regulatory reviews determine whether SMRs can scale across markets.
Multinational regulator reviews are emerging around concrete projects.
