Clean Air Task Force Recommendations for the EU SMR Strategy 

As the European Union (EU) advances toward its 2050 climate neutrality goal, the timely deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) has emerged as a critical enabler of a secure, low-carbon, and competitive energy system. SMRs have the potential to complement renewable energy sources by providing firm, low-carbon power, while supporting industrial decarbonisation and regional energy resilience. 

This paper lays out key recommendations for the EU SMR Strategy, providing a clear roadmap for EU and Members States policymakers, regulators, and industry stakeholders by aligning policy requirements, regulatory streamlining, and market development.
