Vietnam is considering small modular reactors (SMRs) to enhance energy security and meet rising demand. A recent conference highlighted SMRs' potential in diversifying the energy mix and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Experts noted the global nuclear sector is entering a deployment phase, with significant investments expected. However, challenges such as skilled labor shortages, financing issues, and competition for materials persist.

The Ministry of Construction in Vietnam has issued guidance for adjusting construction contracts due to nearly doubled material prices since early 2026.

Local departments are urged to monitor market trends and publish material prices regularly.
