Both the deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Long-Term Operation of legacy NPP fleets requires a resilient, cost-effective supply chain. This side event explores how leveraging serially manufactured industrial-grade components can enhance reliability, reduce procurement complexity, and accelerate SMR deployment. We will examine the latest data and guidance on acceptance processes for industrial-grade components, including Commercial-Grade Dedication. By adopting proven industrial products and a “design for supply chain” philosophy, nuclear projects can improve efficiency while maintaining safety standards. This event is organized by Switzerland.

This event will be held on Tuesday, 16 September 2025, from 5.00 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. in Conference Room M6, M Building, ground floor.
