[en] Small modular reactors are defined as reactors with power output of approximately 1.5 MW to 300 MW, with option for grid/non-grid connection, modular approach to construction and deployment and are cost-competitive. Designs of small modular reactors vary globally and include molten salt, high temperature gas, sodium cooled and lead cooled. Characteristics also include advances in safety and efficiency as well as applications in electricity production or other applications. Some of the benefits of small modular reactors are lower costs, enhanced safety, environmental effects, flexibility and energy beyond electricity.
