At the COP28 conference in Dubai, 22 countries, including the U.S., UK, Japan, South Korea, and France, signed a declaration that recognizes “the key role of nuclear energy in achieving global net-zero” and pledged to triple their nuclear capacity by 2050. The measure indicates an emerging global consensus on the critical role of nuclear power in energy transition. This webinar explored the future of small modular reactors' (SMRs) deployment in the context of the European energy transition.

What is the true scale of the problem and what are the risks? We sometimes take them too loosely or slightly. For a successful energy transition there are several goals to be achieved like speed and scale... What should the SMR industry do? Deliver on promise and streamline regulations
