The Coordinated Research Project (CRP) will focus on identifying and enhancing understanding of the families of enabling technologies with potential to either reduce the installation cost and schedule of SMRs or better suit the user needs (e.g. with a higher flexibility or non-electric applications) and thus facilitate the deployment scheme of SMRs and favour their early deployment. Identification of these technologies and finding a way to assess them will help the nuclear industry put development effort where it is most needed and agree on codes and standards evolutions if they need to be developed for these technologies.
