POWER
Lithuania is eying the possibility of using nuclear SMRs in its domestic generation mix, with the reactors using recycled spent fuel from the 2.3GW Iganalia nuclear plant, the Ministry of Energy said, cited by BNS.
- “We are following a lot of technologies as we are interested in the American TerraPower reactors and the British Rolls-Royce reactors,” Minister of Energy Dainius Kreivys said.
- Lithuania is planning to meet all its domestic power consumption with local generation units, with hopes to develop low-power nuclear reactors after 2030.
