Summary
Ireland is eyeing small modular reactors as a zero-emission energy solution, with some parties even pushing to scrap the nuclear ban—but major hurdles remain. Experts warn of deep geological waste storage challenges and the need for a brand-new regulatory body, making deployment unlikely before 2050. Still, engineering groups argue it’s possible by the 2040s if Ireland starts building policy foundations now—highlighting a complex, long road ahead for nuclear power in the Emerald Isle.
