SMRs are considered for deployment in brown field sites as a part of Nuclear Energy  Mission  to  enhance  India's  nuclear  energy  capacity.    These  reactors  are Bharat  Small  Reactor  (220  MWe  PHWR), Bharat Small Modular Reactor (BSMR200 MWe PWR) and Small Modular Reactor (SMR-55 MWe PWR) which are being indigenously designed & developed with an objective of repurposing of retiring fossil fuel-based  power  plants,  captive  plants  for  energy  intensive  industries  and  off-grid applications for remote locations.

Conceptual and detailed designs for these reactors are at advanced stage. Prototype demonstration  reactors  establish  technology  readiness  for  design,  construction,  and operation.

In  view  of  the  available  in-house  expertise  and  know-how  of  technologies  being developed,  no  collaboration  has  been  envisaged.  However,  BARC  participates  in national  &  international  meetings  on  nuclear  reactor  technologies  for  knowledge sharing, and as a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), India regularly participates in IAEA technical events for capacity building.

- (b) It is planned to establish lead units of SMR-55 and BSMR 200 MWe at DAE sites for technology demonstration.  These demonstration reactors are likely to be constructed in 60 to 72 months after receipt of project sanctions.
