As the potential deployment of SMRs draws closer, it is becoming increasingly likely that SMRs and Advanced Reactors could provide more than just on-grid power, with remote communities, the mining industry and military operations set to benefit. Many off-grid sectors are engaging with the nuclear industry, and the range of applications is expanding.

In addition to providing heat and power to remote communities, SMRs provide a cheaper, more reliable, and sustainable energy source to mining and oil sands operations. Similarly, the commercial shipping industry has expressed interest in SMRs due to its consumption of expensive fossil fuels that result in high running costs, as well as contributing to global carbon emissions.

Lastly, one sector revisiting the concept of utilising SMRs and ARs as mobile power sources is the U.S. military. Recognising the constraints imposed by lack of power when conducting military operations, the U.S. Department of Defence (DOD) is now actively pursuing the deployment of mobile nuclear reactors to accompany the U.S. Army deployed to remote and/or off-grid regions.

Reuters Events' latest white paper, The Future of SMRs and ARs: Off-Grid Market Applications, provides expert insight into how alternative markets can utilize SMRs.

Here's a sneak-peak of what to expect in the whitepaper:

Which Alternative Markets Could Utilize SMRs? Explore how SMRs could create huge opportunities for the military, the mining industry, remote communities, shipping, and oil sands

Expert Insight from... University of Saskatchewan, MIRARCO, and Pacific Northwest Nuclear Laboratory, including the challenges which must be overcome to utilize the full potential of SMRs

SMRs and ARs have the potential to secure a long-term future for the nuclear industry and its supply chain if the technology can be proven in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. This future will be further enhanced if alternative applications are fully developed to attract more alternate end-users.

Britain injects 100m pounds into Sizewell C nuclear project
London (AFP) Jan 27, 2022
The UK government announced Thursday that it will invest another 100 million Pounds to help support development of the Sizewell C nuclear power project in eastern England. The extra cash is also aimed at attracting new partners to Sizewell C, which is led by French energy giant EDF and located on the Suffolk coast. "The funding commitment... will be used to continue the development of the project," said a statement from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The boost ... read more
