CAEN is now part of The European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)

We are thrilled to announce that CAEN SpA has joined The European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which aims to speed up the development and deployment of SMRs in Europe by the early 2030s. SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors that provide low-carbon electricity and heat with enhanced safety and a smaller footprint. The alliance unites industry leaders, financial institutions, researchers, and policymakers to build a strong nuclear supply chain, support SMR projects, and overcome investment barriers. This initiative is a significant step towards integrating nuclear technologies into industrial applications and aiding Europe’s decarbonization efforts.

This marks a significant milestone for our company as we join an elite network of organizations dedicated to shaping the future of the European energy landscape. As part of the Alliance, we have the opportunity to contribute to strategic Technical Working Groups (TWGs) addressing key topics such as:

• Ensuring a smooth collaboration with Industrial Applications.
• Building a comprehensive and credible R&D&I roadmap to secure an on-time deployment of SMR in Europe.
• Support the development of a comprehensive strategy for the Supply Chain.
• Plays a key role in Nuclear Safety and Safeguards through a standardized and versatile transition.
• Considering the on-going programs of the nuclear safety regulators Fuel Cycle and Waste Management.
