SMRs. Rosatom took part in the first IAEA International Conference on Small Modular Reactors and Their Applications held in Vienna. Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev spoke about the advantages of onshore and offshore small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear power plants as sources of electricity for remote communities and isolated industrial sites, and touched upon small-scale generation solutions offered by Rosatom. The Russian nuclear corporation is currently working on the project to build an onshore SMR plant in Yakutia. In May 2024, Rosatom signed the first export contract for the construction of a Russian-designed SMR plant in Uzbekistan. Rosatom representatives also spoke about the experience in engineering onshore and offshore SMR nuclear power plants, and developing nuclear infrastructure based on different project delivery models. Additionally, Rosatom’s Technical Academy and the IAEA agreed on the margins of the conference to expand cooperation in knowledge management and human resource development.
