William Magwood, Commissioner, NRC
“SMRs represent a whole new area where America can regain its leadership role and export our technology and, as such, they represent a very unique and important opportunity for us. In particular, the SMRs of light water reactor technology build upon our expertise from small Navy nuclear reactors and represent a near-term, high technology growth industry for the U.S.”
— Senator George V. Voinovich (R-OH)
Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology may be the next big thing in cleantech, and is identified by both the Obama administration and Bill Gates as an investment to be made to solve many pressing problems. The Senate has also introduced legislation pushing for the DOE to implement programs to develop and demonstrate SMR designs. SMRs could reduce GHG emissions through replacing existing coal-fired generation and offer economical solutions to powering remote industrial sites and population centers. The race is now on to commercialize SMR technologies—a race that will involve building a value chain that will encompass nuclear researchers, venture and other investors, repurposed manufacturing entities, engineering firms, utilities and a new base of customers including the military, remote industrial sites and population centers.
Building the Value Chain for Commercializing Small Modular Reactors will be the first major event where all of the communities in the SMR value chain will come together in one spot to discuss how to build a new national SMR industry. Leaders from the reactor developers, non-traditional customers such as military, mining and oil industries, defense contractors and manufacturers, utilities, and venture capital and financial communities—communities that normally don’t communicate amongst themselves in the ordinary course of events—will be on hand to share their perspectives on what is needed to form an efficient and effective value chain to commercialize SMRs.
No single community will be able to create a viable SMR industry. Only through intense cooperative efforts will this be possible. This means that all of the communities in the value chain will need to obtain a detailed understanding of the capabilities, challenges and needs of the other communities in order for the industry to move forward. Come to this meeting and take the first steps to make SMR a reality.
