They use nuclear fission to generate low-carbon electricity. SMRs are called modular reactors as their components can be manufactured in factories using innovative techniques and then transported to site to be assembled.’<br /> <br /> = Related articles on Designing Buildings Wiki =<br /> <br /> * A zero-carbon UK by 2050?<br /> * Energy white paper.<br /> * Generation nuclear.<br /> * Get ready for green jobs and upgrade projects.<br /> * Hinkley Point nuclear agreement.<br /> * Net zero and green jobs.<br /> * Net zero carbon 2050.<br /> * Not a choice between renewables and nuclear - we need both.<br /> * Organisations prompt government to Build Back Green.<br /> * Power generation.<br /> * Renewable energy.<br /> * The Government's 10-point plan: what's missing?<br /> <br /> [[Category:DCN_Definition]] [[Category:Definitions]]</div>
