Even though being "small" and unimportant now it is very probable that small nuclear will start to play important role in the energy mix after several years ...
I was searching around wikipedia to find dedicated page for the small nuclear reactor designs and I did not find one.
If there is already one existing dedicated for the small nuclear reactor designs pls feel free to delete this one.
This list is missing two important Gen III small nuclear reactors: (1) Nuscale @ 45 MWe; (2) Babcock & Wilcox's mPower. It is also missing the Gen IV GE-Hitachi S-PRISM and the Russian Gen IV which might be considered to be a scaled up Hyperion to 300 MWe.

One of the senior engineers of the PRISM project told me that the PRISM design, available in several sizes 157 (Mod A), 311 (Mod B), 360 MWe (S-PRISM), was certified by NRC in 1994.
EBR-II, 20 MWe, retired and destroyed by the Cliton administration in 1994, is not on the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Van.snyder ( talk • contribs) 22:38, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
I think we have learned this is now the defacto table for SMR development status on Wikipedia (2023). Please do not delete this table, as work is now underway to update design statuses. Ludviggy ( talk) 06:10, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Apparently TerraPower's TWR reactor keeps getting included as an SMR when in fact it is intended to be a large plant (600MW+): https://terrapower.com/updates/smr-and-twr-correcting-the-record/
Are there any real sources describing a small TWR?

Per WP:LISTCRUFT, this list has grown quite a few unreferenced entries and is a bit of a mess. I propose to clean it by removing any black-linked or red-linked entries in the list with no supporting references. 10mmsocket ( talk) 17:30, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
I have added the word "Foreign" to "Seeking Licenses" and "Operational" to bring greater clarity to what a company has achieved regulatory-wise. You may not realize this but the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is used globally by many countries outside of the US for standards and licensing. However, some companies have opted to seek licensing through their own government's nuclear regulatory commission. Companies outside of the US are free to do whatever their government allows. However, the NRC has become the global gold standard for plant approval and the level of testing is much greater at the NRC than any other government regulatory commission for nuclear power worldwide. There needs to be a way to make this distinction for the reader. There's a very big difference between an NRC licensing and one performed in Korea or even the UK. Please do not remove my updates.

Otherwise, stick with the distinction we have. ( talk) 07:23, 18 December 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ludviggy ( talk • Ludviggy ( talk)
I have globalized the table and removed the need for color-coding to convey information. I think the two tags for the table section can be removed but will leave that to another editor. -- Thetrick ( talk) 21:23, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
I am in the process of updating the table to the latest global SMR statuses. Please feel free to help: https://aris.iaea.org/Publications/SMR_Book_2020.pdf Ludviggy ( talk) 06:57, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
