Vietnam is considering Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to ensure a stable, 24/7 electricity supply for its growing semiconductor and AI industries. The government is discussing these next generation nuclear options to provide low carbon baseload power that complements renewable energy sources. Russia's Rosatom is promoting SMR technology, including floating nuclear power plants, as a flexible alternative to traditional large scale nuclear projects. These smaller units aim to reduce capital costs and construction timelines while supporting grid stability in industrial hubs.
