Clean energy from advanced nuclear technology is cost effective and 'always on' - we need it to get near net zero.

Why small nuclear?

We believe emerging nuclear technology using small reactors is vital to support the push to achieve net zero. No other clean energy source is comparable, with high density, high capacity factors, high efficiency and dispatchable output.

Small Modular Reactors and Advanced Reactor are designed to have much smaller footprints and land usage than large nuclear plants, and orders of magnitude less than renewable installations for comparable output.

Nuclear plants have a capacity factor of over 90%, compared to renewables which can average less than 30% over a year. Advanced nuclear designs are seeking higher availability, up to near 100%.

Nuclear energy is carbon free at the point of production, and over a nuclear plants life cycle it is comparable to renewables.

Advanced reactor designs can provide output heat at over 500 degrees C, allowing direct heat for a number of energy intensive industrial uses and offering system efficiencies up to 40%, with resulting commercial gains.

The LCOE of a nuclear installation is comparable with other energy sources and can provide attractive revenue to investors and asset owners. Advanced nuclear plants are planned with an operating life of 60+ years, allowing the capital cost to be amortised over a substantial period, unlike renewable installations which typically are lifed at 20-25 years. Taking into account system costs and the near 100% capacity factor, an SMR is a commercially attractive investment.
