Sophie Macfarlane-Smith (Rolls-Royce SMR) on the development of a small modular nuclear reactor
from Studio Energie · host Studio Energie
Europe seems to be on the verge of a nuclear renaissance. And the new kids on the block are SMRs – small modular reactors. We know how to build big ones, so how hard can it be to build small, modular ones? Well, pretty hard, as it turns out. What are the biggest challenges? And how can they be overcome? To answer these questions, I’m joined this week by Sophie Macfarlane-Smith, Head of Customer Engagement at Rolls Royce SMR.
