Small Modular Reactors
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a promising avenue for India’s transition to cleaner energy sources and its pursuit of net-zero emissions. However, navigating the legal and regulatory landscape, enhancing safety standards, addressing public concerns, and ensuring international cooperation remain vital steps in realizing the potential benefits of SMRs in India’s energy sector.
