Nuclear power developers in the UK plan to construct over 20 small modular reactors (SMRs), including advanced modular reactors (AMRs), by the mid-2030s. This initiative follows a recent agreement between the US and UK to collaborate on deploying these technologies.

Key players include X Energy and Centrica, targeting a fleet of 6GW of nuclear power. The project aims to mobilize by 2026, with the first reactor expected to generate power in the mid-2030s. The initiative highlights a push to enhance the UK's nuclear capacity amid growing global interest in sustainable energy solutions.
