  • i-SMR project started by KHNP in 2020 with the goal ‘Best SMR of global SMR market in 2030s’.

  • i-SMR project received a feasibility study by the national review agency and passed in may 2022, becoming national R&D project with the full support of the government from 2023.

  • A little late, however, we have confident in commercialization of i-SMR in early 2030s, which is superior to competing SMR models with our own strengths.

Development Strategy

All areas of development are divided into three groups: design, innovative technology, and manufacturing technology, and key areas and detailed tasks are organized for each group.
