NuScale has claimed that “ once approved , global demand for SMR plants will create thousands of jobs during manufacturing , construction and operation ” and “ re- ¬ establish US global leadership in nuclear technology , paving the way for NRC approval and subsequent deployment of other advanced nuclear technologies ”. It predicts “ about 5,5 ¬ 75GWe of global electricity will come from SMRs by 2035 , equivalent to over 1,000 NuScale Power Modules ”.
However , Danny Roderick , former president and CEO of ( now bankrupt nuclear services market leader ) Westinghouse , once countered : “ The problem I have with SMRs is not the technology , it ’ s not the deployment – it ’ s that there ’ s no customers ... The worst thing to do is get ahead of the market .” Currently there are no operational NPPs in the world that can be considered fully-fledged SMRs . Several countries and companies are at different stages in the development of SMR technologies . NuScale is the frontrunner to deliver a SMR in Idaho
