Edison and EDF have presented a project for a series of ten mini nuclear reactors to be built in Europe, with the first one to be constructed in Italy by 2035. The reactors, called Nuward Smr, will have a capacity of 400 MW and will use advanced third-generation technology. The project involves a partnership between France and Italy, with other European countries potentially joining, and aims to enhance energy security, independence, and competitiveness.
The estimated cost of the project is in the tens of billions of euros, with a planned investment model involving both public and private funding.
