Technical Working Group for
Small and Medium-sized or Modular Reactor (TWG-SMR)

The Technical Working Group on Small and Medium Sized or Modular Reactors (TWG-SMR) is a group of experts established to provide advice, recommendations and support to the IAEA for programmatic planning and implementation in all areas related to technology development, design, development and economics of small and medium sized or modular reactors (SMRs) that can be used for the production of electricity and/or industrial process heat. Reflecting a global network of excellence and expertise, this Technical Working Group is specifically meant to provide guidance to the IAEA on addressing challenges associated with the assessment of technology readiness and deployability of SMRs in Member States. The TWG-SMR, through its advice and recommendations, will benefit the Member States by strengthening the effectiveness and coordination of the IAEA's activities on SMR technology development, design, deployment and economics.

The TWG-SMR was established in 2018 after Member State requests and recommendations to the DG based on (i) GC(61)/RES/11, September 2017, Section 6, pp. 33‑35; (ii) Excerpt of the minutes of the DGM 12/7 of 20 July 2017; and (iii) Excerpt of the minutes of the last SAGNE meeting held on 25-28 April 2017 (Section 4.1.3).
