<p>Since 2015, the Government has engaged with over 30 small and advanced reactor
vendors through initiatives such as the SMR Competition (March 2016 – December 2017)
and the ongoing Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) Feasibility and Development Project.</p><p>
</p><p>The sizes of individual reactor modules range from 4MWe – 465 MWe. Many vendors
are designing reactors with the intention of multiple modules being deployed together,
scaling up the generation output of an installation. This includes proposals for modular
reactor power stations with the potential outputs around 1GWe. The reactor technology
types range from conventional water-cooled reactors, to 4th generation reactors using
novel fuels and coolants, as well as fusion reactor concepts.</p>
