Certified SMR Power Expert (CSMRP-X) Certification Program by Tonex
Certified SMR Power Expert (CSMRP-X) Certification Program by Tonex is a master level credential designed for professionals who need advanced capability in small modular reactor deployment, governance, licensing, engineering integration, operational readiness, and executive decision support. The program is intended for candidates who have completed or passed exams for at least four related SMR certificates, including fundamentals, systems engineering, licensing and regulatory, and one approved specialization such as safety, project deployment, O&M, cybersecurity, grid integration, or finance.
Participants examine SMR deployment from strategic, technical, commercial, and regulatory perspectives. The program emphasizes real deployment planning through a capstone case study covering site selection, technology evaluation, licensing roadmap, risk planning, grid or industrial integration, project schedule, stakeholder strategy, and operational readiness.
Cybersecurity is treated as a core deployment concern, not an add-on. Participants assess cybersecurity exposure across digital controls, vendor ecosystems, grid interfaces, operational data flows, and regulatory assurance activities.
Learning Objectives
- Evaluate SMR deployment options using technical, regulatory, financial, and operational criteria.
- Develop a structured SMR site selection rationale for energy, industrial, or public sector use.
- Compare SMR technologies through safety, licensing, constructability, scalability, and lifecycle factors.
- Build licensing roadmaps aligned with regulatory review expectations and stakeholder needs.
- Create safety, security, and cybersecurity risk registers for SMR deployment programs.
- Assess grid, industrial, and remote energy integration requirements for SMR projects.
- Prepare operational readiness plans for staffing, governance, maintenance, and long-term performance.
