Registration is now open for the "SMR in UK" conference

You can now register for the leading Nuclear Institute conference of 2014 that will address the questions and important issues around Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in the UK, to take place at the Manchester Conference Centre on 25 September 2014.

Nuclear power plans in the UK may gain a new dimension with SMRs, a scalable, emissions-free power generation technology suitable for a range of applications and sites.

What role could SMRs play in the UK's energy mix?
What contribution could the UK make to this new industry?
Will the UK build SMRs - and could it build the first fleet?
What will it take to build the first SMR in the UK today?

Policymakers and industry leaders will present HMG Nuclear Innovation and Research Advisory Board's feasibility study on SMR, and examine paths forward for this important tool for global warming / GHG-emissions mitigation.

The implications for meeting Britain's decarbonisation commitments, for the grid, for planning and licencing, for British manufacturing, jobs, entrepreneurship and the innovation ecosystem will be discussed by leading experts, academia and industry pioneers.
