The nuclear tech race is on.

Europe has everything it needs to lead.

We have half a million highly-skilled workers in nuclear.

We have the ambition to move at speed and scale.

For Europe to be a global hub of next-generation nuclear energy.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today we are presenting a new European strategy for Small Modular Reactors.

Our goal is simple.

We want this new technology to be operational in Europe by the early 2030s.

And to back this we will create a €200M guarantee, to support private investment in innovative nuclear technologies.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Europe needs homegrown, low-carbon energy sources.

Nuclear & renewables together have a key role to play

Nuclear energy is available around the clock, providing electricity all year.

Europe has been a pioneer in nuclear technology.
