- India is developing three types of Small Modular Reactors to increase nuclear energy capacity and support clean energy goals.
- These are small and advanced nuclear reactors producing up to 300-megawatt electric power per module.
- Types include Bharat Small Modular Reactor, SMR-55 and high temperature gas cooled reactor for power and hydrogen generation.
- They use advanced technologies like pressurised water reactors and slightly enriched uranium fuel.
- SMRs are safer, modular, cost-effective, and reducing carbon emissions.
