The pre-licensing assessment for the Eagles 300 lead-cooled small modular reactor has commenced, backed by Belgian, Italian, and Romanian nuclear regulators and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Formed in June, the Eagles consortium aims to develop and commercialize the reactor with a demonstration projected by 2035.

Key features of the Eagles 300 include high power output, modular design, and optimized fuel management, addressing sustainability. This initiative marks the first collaborative pre-licensing effort for advanced reactors, aiming to streamline regulatory processes and enhance safety in nuclear technology deployment.
