USA to market small nuclear reactors to Slovakia?

The Ministry of Economy and Slovenské elektrárne have signed a memorandum
of cooperation with a range of partners in the energy field to support the
development of small modular reactors (SMRs) in Slovakia, including
applying for funding from the USA’s Project Phoenix. The other signatories
of the memorandum were US Steel Košice, the Slovak Electricity
Transmission System, VUJE, the Office of Nuclear Supervision and the Slovak
Technical University in Bratislava. There will now be an application for
funding from the US government’s Project Phoenix, which was announced by US
Climate Envoy John Kerry at COP27 last year – it aims to “accelerate the
global clean energy transition by providing technical assistance to support
decision-making on pursuing the conversion of one or more coal-fired power
plants to secure and safe zero-carbon” SMR nuclear energy generation.
