EDF has submitted the Nuward small modular reactor (SMR) to the France's Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire (ASN – Nuclear Safety Authority), marking the start of the pre-licensing process. The safety options file (DOS) outlines the safety objectives, the global design features, and the main principles for operation and risk management for NUWARD SMR. It allows for early feedback from ASN, in preparation for the future new nuclear facility application, which is required to start building a plant in France.
