The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has released the 2025 edition of its Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Dashboard, alongside a newly launched digital version designed to track global SMR development in near real time. The Dashboard evaluates SMR technologies across six critical dimensions: licensing, siting, financing, supply chain readiness, stakeholder engagement, and fuel availability.
This year’s edition expands its coverage to 74 SMR designs, reflecting the accelerating pace of development worldwide. The digital platform offers continuously updated data, allowing policymakers, investors, and industry stakeholders to assess which SMR technologies are advancing toward commercialization and where market momentum is building. The Dashboard is positioned as a key tool to promote transparency, identify bottlenecks, and support evidence-based decision-making as the nuclear sector pursues net-zero energy goals.
Nuclearis Energy’s N1 Reactor
Nuclearis Energy, a U.S.-based advanced nuclear developer, is highlighted in the 2025 SMR Dashboard for its N1 reactor. The N1 is a 17 MWe microreactor designed for high efficiency, achieving 41 percent thermal efficiency, the highest in its class. Its inclusion reflects the company’s technical progress and market positioning within the rapidly growing SMR sector.
Implications for the Industry
The NEA SMR Dashboard represents a significant advancement for the nuclear industry by centralizing transparent, evidence-based data on SMR deployment. For companies such as Nuclearis, this visibility not only validates technological maturity but also strengthens engagement with investors, regulators, and supply chain partners. By benchmarking readiness across the sector, the Dashboard enables informed capital allocation and supports strategies to accelerate SMR deployment.
The inclusion of Nuclearis Energy underscores its standing as a credible developer in the next generation of nuclear energy solutions, with the N1 positioned to contribute to future decentralized and low-carbon power generation.
