Are you attending @NEISAfrica this week? Don’t miss an IAEA session on SMR Deployment Readiness!

SMRs are a compelling solution for many African countries as they are more suitable for use in small electricity grids and have a lower upfront capital cost per unit and shorter construction times. This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the global SMR landscape and Africa’s readiness to harness this innovation.

The session is open to all participants and will be held in the Main Auditorium.
