FAQ

Small Modular Reactors (SMR’s) have a smaller power output than large reactors and can be build more frequently. This means more experience is gained during construction, and part suppliers have a steady order book. The result is construction cost-reduction over time. The smaller investments and associated financial risks compared to large reactors leads to a faster ROI.

SMR’s can be build to substitute decommissioned coal or gas plants with similar power output, minimizing interference in the grid, while large power plants would require grid expansion.

Currently there are talks with multiple municipalities. Locations will be made public once an official agreement is made.

The Netherlands has an excellent infrastructure for the safe handling of radioactive waste. Nuclear power producer pays a fee to COVRA, which has a storage facility in Zeeland. The fee includes costs associated with final disposal, meaning the waste is in a controlled environment throughout its lifetime.
