Baltic country taking steps towards SMR deployment Estonia-based Fermi Energia recently chose GE-Hitachi’s BWRX-300 as its preferred nuclear plant for possible deployment in the country. Courtesy Fermi Energia. Around three-quarters of Estonians support the building of a nuclear power station in the Baltic country, a government poll has found.

The February poll showed that 75% were favour of a nuclear power station, while 17% were against and the remaining 8% were undecided.

Energy security and cheaper electricity were the two main reasons behind support for nuclear power, with 47% citing the former and 46% the latter.

Another 22% said nuclear can help meet Estonia’s climate targets.

Support was more or less evenly spread across age groups, with 87% of men were in favour and 65% of women.
