In the push for carbon neutrality, nuclear power is making a comeback, reclaiming its place as a crucial player in the global energy mix. Small modular reactors (SMRs), a game-changing innovation with their compact sizes and impressive flexibility, are driving this return to the spotlight. In this article, we take a closer look at nuclear technologies, highlighting their potential to tackle both sustainability and energy security challenges. We delve into the nuclear fuel cycle, covering everything from uranium mining to waste management, and analyse the current investment trends propelling the sector towards achieving net zero emissions. By exploring the upsides and challenges associated with SMRs, we aim to provide a balanced view of their role in shaping the future of nuclear energy and the future of the energy landscape at large.
