King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), recognizing the importance of energy security and clean energy, has initiated studies on the utilization of a Micro Modular Reactor (MMR). This effort is also part of the United States’ Foundational Infrastructure for Responsible Use of SMR Technology (FIRST) Program, which aims to support countries in the early stages of considering Small Modular Reactor (SMR) and MMR technologies. The program ensures that such advanced technologies can be adopted safely, securely, and in compliance with international safety standards.

        On September 25, 2025, Professor Dr. Wisanu Phetcharapha, Acting Vice President for Research and Innovation, together with Asst. Prof. Dr. Wipoo Srisubsai, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Integrative Innovation Technology, and their working team, welcomed representatives from the U.S. Embassy at Meeting Room 606, Office of the President.

        KMITL is honored and delighted to extend a warm welcome to our distinguished guests from the United States.

The meeting aimed to present progress updates, coordinate with U.S. experts in SMR and MMR, and explore potential collaborations under the FIRST Program. The ultimate goal is to develop an MMR prototype as a model for clean energy production in Thailand.
