Small Modular Reactors
Many of the more mature SMR designs seem poised to fulfil the hopes placed on the technology. These designs are meant drive advances in economics, modularity, flexibility and deployability, and to eventually produce reliable, low-cost zero-carbon energy.
While there are plenty of uncertainties before these goals can be deemed as being fulfilled, plenty of countries have expressed clear interest in the technology. To overcome these uncertainties, some actors will need to take risks with first-of-a-kind plants. If these succeed, there is a clear, wider market for SMRs.

Comparing European Seismic Hazard Models
In this study, an analysis of the differences in results between the European Seismic Hazard Model 2013 and the new, updated version European Seismic Hazard Model 2020, has been performed. Even though the ESH models are not intended for site-specific hazard analysis, they are important to understand since they form a background to international and national definitions and guidelines.
