Nuclear energy, including small power generation technologies, plays a pivotal role in achieving the UN sustainable development goals. SMR NPPs can greatly contribute to the following goals:

• Economic growth, development of industries and innovations;
• Curbing climate change;
• Improving living standards and accessibility of education;
• Creating new jobs;
• Providing people with food and clean water.

Extensive introduction of small nuclear power technologies will reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, water and soil pollution, and dependence of remote regions on mineral resources.
