Recent interest in small modular reactors (SMRs) is being driven by a desire to reduce the total capital costs associated with nuclear power plants and to provide power to small grid systems. According to estimates available today, if all the competitive advantages of SMRs were realised, including serial production, optimised supply chains and smaller financing costs, SMRs could be expected to have lower absolute and specific (per-kWe) construction costs than large reactors. Although the economic parameters of SMRs are not yet fully determined, a potential market exists for this technology, particularly in energy mixes with large shares of renewables. This report assesses the size of the market for SMRs that are currently being developed and that have the potential to broaden the ways of deploying nuclear power in different parts of the world. The study focuses on light water SMRs that are expected to be constructed in the coming decades and that strongly rely on serial, factory-based production of reactor modules. In a high-case scenario, up to 21 GWe of SMRs could be added globally by 2035, representing approximately 3% of total installed nuclear capacity.

Technology roadmaps have proven to be a useful management tool for evaluating, planning and strategizing the development of complex technological projects. This publication is intended to provide Member States with a set of generic roadmaps which can be used in the deployment of small modular reactors. These roadmaps are based on the latest inputs from Member States currently pursuing this technology. The publication places emphasis on the activities of owners/operators who drive the demand and requirements for the reactor designs, the designers who develop the technologies, and the regulators who establish and maintain the regulatory requirements that owners/operators should meet. It also provides a methodology for developing a technology roadmap for reactors with longer development horizons and discusses emerging opportunities and challenges for this relatively new technology.

The recent interest in small modular reactors (SMRs) is driven by a desire to reduce the total capital costs of nuclear power plants and to provide power to small grid systems. Over the past few years, many SMR projects have been making substantial progress. Two reactors currently under construction are CAREM-25 (a prototype) in Argentina and KLT- 40S in the Russian Federation. More designs have reached advanced stages of development. To attempt to quantify the size of the market that SMRs could capture in the short- to medium-term, a project was launched at the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) to collect and analyse economic and market data on SMRs, including factory production cost estimates. These data - gathered through questionnaires and interviews with SMR vendors and potential customers - have been used to assess the potential for SMR commercial deployment in the world. Only short- to medium-term projections (2020-2035) and mature technologies (i.e. SMRs based on light water reactor technologies) were considered. Different factors influencing the SMR market around the world are also discussed.

"For the first time in United Nations Climate Change Conference history COP26, which has been rescheduled for 2021, will be focusing on the implementation of advanced nuclear reactors as a valuable option to reach a net zero carbon future. Soon, one of the most disputable global conversations in international affairs about how to achieve a net zero carbon future will involve the conversation of nuclear energy. The baseload document powering the fight against climate change is the Paris Agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which ultimately incentivizes states to pursue sustainable energy practices as an essential part of meeting energy a state's demands. The reason COP26 will focus on advanced nuclear reactors is that signatory states of the Paris Agreement have exhibited a trending interest in including nuclear energy into their energy mix; however, not with conventional large scale nuclear reactors, but with advanced reactors, namely SMRs - "Small Modular Reactors". In a report by the International Energy Agency in May 2019 their Executive Director Dr. Fatih Birol said, "If governments don't change their current policies, advanced economies will be on track to lose two-thirds of their current nuclear fleet, risking a huge increase in CO2 emissions...Wind and solar energy need to play a much greater role in order for countries to meet sustainability goals, but it is extremely difficult to envisage them doing so without help from nuclear power." SMRs have been flagged as the baseload energy needed in order to build a sustainable energy future. Overall, the attractiveness of SMRs lies within their inherent safety, security, locational flexibility, and lower costs for both assembly, running the facility, and decommissioning in comparison to large scale nuclear power plants. Since it seems as though SMRs will be implemented in many state's energy demand strategies, this thesis will be an investigation on the key factors in determining a SMR deployment strategy. Furthermore, since a facet of SMR attractiveness is their locational flexibility, there will be an investigation on to rural areas of developing and developed states planning to deploy SMRs. The study will focus on two cases: 1) Canada - a tier 1 nuclear state with international reputation for nuclear innovation and a completed SMR roadmap deployment strategy. 2) Kenya - a nuclear new comer that is in the process of implementing SMRs into their energy mix as a part of their 2030 climate change goal, but who's reputation in nuclear is yet defined. Both states plan to deploy SMRs into rural areas with limited grid systems and use international regulatory tools to guide their strategies. Both states also deal with similar social issues surrounding public perception of nuclear energy and indigenous communities in the potential deployment areas. In a comparative analysis of the two cases there will be an assessment of the following independent variables: security, safety, and public perception in the cases of Canada and Kenya. Due to the complex and contemporary nature of each independent variables in this study, the majority of the literature is derived from primary sources which are based heavily on reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency"--Pages v-vi.
