Latvia plans to commission a €1.42m ($1.68am) assessment of the possibilities for developing nuclear energy in the country, according to information from the Procurement Monitoring Bureau. Baltic News Network reported that KEM published a notice on a supplier consultation for the procurement titled ‘Assessment of Nuclear Energy Development Opportunities in Latvia’.
The goal of the assessment, which is being commissioned by the Ministry of Climate and Energy, is to provide a comprehensive analysis that would serve as a basis for policymaking and decision-making on the deployment of small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear plants in Latvia.
The winning bidder will be required to carry out an assessment of the feasibility of introducing SMRs, covering technical, legal, environmental, societal, financial and economic aspects of deployment.
