3 Printed by the IAEA in Austria September 2018 FOREWORD The IAEA Department of Nuclear Energy continues to facilitate efforts of Member States in the development and deployment of Small Modular reactors (SMRs), recognizing their potential as a viable solution to meet energy supply security, both in newcomer and expanding countries interested in SMRs. In this regard, balanced and objective information to all Member States on Technology status and development trends for advanced Reactor lines and their applications are collected, assessed and provided through publication of status reports and other technical documents. Member States, both those launching their nuclear power programme and those with an existing nuclear power programme, keep expressing their interest in information about advanced SMR designs and concepts, as well as current development trends.

4 The IAEA Division of Nuclear Power, which has been facilitating Member States in addressing common technologies and issues for SMRs and the related fuel-cycle, plays a prominent role in convening international scientific forums and technical cooperation in this field for the interested Member States. The activities on SMRs are further supported by specific activities on advance fast and high temperature gas cooled Reactor Technology development. The driving forces in the development of SMRs are their specific characteristics. They can be deployed incrementally to closely match increasing energy demand resulting in a moderate financial commitment for countries or regions with smaller electricity grids. SMRs show the promise of significant cost reduction through modularization and factory construction which should further improve the construction schedule and reduce costs.

5 In the area of wider applicability SMR designs and sizes are better suited for partial or dedicated use in non-electrical applications such as providing heat for industrial processes, hydrogen production or sea-water desalination. Process heat or cogeneration results in significantly improved thermal efficiencies leading to a better return on investment. Some SMR designs may also serve niche markets, for example to burn nuclear waste. Booklets on the status of SMR Technology Developments have been published in 2012, 2014 and 2016. The objective is to provide Member States with a concise overview of the latest status of SMR designs. This booklet is reporting the Advances in design and Technology Developments of SMRs of all the major Technology lines within the category of SMRs.

6 It covers land based and marine based water-cooled reactors, high temperature gas cooled reactors, liquid metal, sodium and gas-cooled fast neutron spectrum reactors and molten salt reactors. The content on the specific SMRs is provided by the responsible institute or organization and is reproduced, with permission, in this booklet. This booklet is intended as a supplement to the IAEA Advanced Reactor Information System (ARIS), which can be accessed at Other recent booklets published in support of ARIS are listed in Annex IV. This publication was developed by Nuclear Power Technology Development Section, Division of Nuclear Power of the IAEA Department of Nuclear Energy in cooperation with Member States.
