Frederick Uni’s H₂Zero Research Unit assesses technical, economic potential of SMRs

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are attracting growing interest as a reliable low-carbon technology, capable of complementing renewable energy sources (RES) while providing a foundation for hydrogen production and desalination systems. However, their economic viability depends largely on reactor capacity, capital cost trends, financing conditions and deployment readiness.

A recent techno-economic analysis by the H₂Zero Research Unit at Frederick University examines and evaluates the Levelised...
