Greece's Inter-Ministerial Committee to examine small modular reactors (2026)

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced in March 2026 that Greece would examine the potential role of SMRs, and by August 2026 the Council of Ministers had set up an Inter-Ministerial Committee to do so. He said its brief is scientific investigation and a defined framework, not the construction of nuclear plants. No site, design or decision to build exists.

Not a deployment project. SMR plans, agreements, studies and government programmes that are not (yet) a single deployment project. They are listed separately and are never counted as projects or reactors.
