The Techno-Economic Assessment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) was commissioned by the Government to help build the evidence base on SMRs. The report has helped the Government assess the contribution SMRs could make to the UK energy supply as well as identifying the benefits and risks of SMR deployment. The Government intends to publish the Techno-Economic Assessment in the autumn.
