SMR SITE

Unveil the ideal sites for Small Modular Reactor projects

SMR SITE puts your SMR in sight

The siting process for a new nuclear installation, as an SMR, is a complex task requiring the tailored analysis of an extensive number of factors and high uncertainty.

SMR SITE offers an all-in-one solution to confidently make decisions based on trusted and reliable data, the latest GIS modelling technology, and Tractebel’s world-class siting expertise.

Compared to traditional approaches, SMR SITE allows to reach results with a data-driven approach, higher accuracy and shorter lead time.

Benefits

DECIDE WITH DATA

  • SMR SITE analyses the most relevant and reliable data, unlocking information and insights to ease and accelerate decision-making.

DECIDE SYSTEMATICALLY

  • Results are systematically validated in a semi-automated process powered by GIS that decision-makers can trust.

DECIDE WITH EXPERTISE

  • Tractebel’s digital innovations, combined with first-hand knowledge of the siting process, ensure high standards of delivery and results to support SMR developments.

Key Features

Built to reveal sites with the least impact

SMR SITE evaluates potential SMR sites in a semi-automated process, powered by GIS technology and compliant with SSG-35 IAEA Safety Standards. It is built to consider also the environmental and social impacts locally and spatially, applying specific algorithms and weighing functions to identify sites with the least impact.

  • Exclusion criteria: environmental, defense, hazardous facilities, roads / infrastructure, populated zones, airport restrictions, geological faults and borders
  • Evaluation criteria: cooling water distance, coastal flooding, landowner, nature grey zones, parcel size, population, terrain roughness, infrastructure and water delta
