EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has described the move away from nuclear power as a strategic mistake. Bavaria’s Minister-President Markus Söder goes a step further and proposes a German pilot project for Small Modular Reactors (SMR). Immediately, an energy expert from the SPD calls the initiative “absurd.” In our IMPULS paper, we provide context on the topic of “Small Modular Reactors” (SMRs), as the term is new to many stakeholders. For Germany, GES proposes the development of its own research ecosystem for SMRs. Otherwise, our country will once again lag behind in this important innovation.
