Today, more than 60 SMR concepts are under development covering a wide range of technologies and different levels of technological and regulatory maturity. Beyond technical feasibility, the work of the NEA aims to a addresses the full set of conditions for success, supporting member countries seeking to accelerate the deployment of SMRs in the context of pathways to Net Zero. \nThis presentation will review international perspectives on opportunities and challenges facing the development of SMRs and identify key priorities for governments seeking to advance policies for supporting SMRs deployment.\nThe speaker will draw on her experiences as Director of Nuclear Energy for the Government of Canada and Chair of Canada’s SMR Roadmap, as well as her current role with the Nuclear Energy Agency, to present international perspectives on the development of SMR technologies and enabling policies.\nPresentation material\nPlease log in ( https://bnsorg.be/login/ ) with your BNS member account to get the password for the video recording.\n2.13.0.02.13.0.0https://vimeo.com/706006616\n
