Multi‐Objective Energy Management for an Integrated Energy System With Small Modular Reactors Considering Uncertainty

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
An integrated energy system (IES) can alleviate energy crises, promote multi‐energy complementarity, and enhance finer‐grained energy development. Nuclear power is clean and efficient, mainly when using small modular reactors (SMRs), which increase power generation, improve system flexibility, and promote a low‐carbon economy.

Conceptual Design and Performance Assessment of the KORADIS System in South Korea

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
South Korea, currently operating 26 commercial nuclear reactors, is in need of establishing a permanent disposal solution for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) as the spent fuel pools approach their capacity. The enactment of the special act on high‐level radioactive waste (HLW) management in March 2025 and the second national basic plan have been formalized ...

Determination of Feasible Design Ranges for the Passive Emergency Core Cooling System of a Small Modular Reactor Under LOCA Conditions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Following the increasing emphasis on passive safety in nuclear reactor design, a small modular reactor (SMR) with fully passive safety systems is currently under development in the Rep. of Korea. In this SMR, the passive emergency core cooling system (PECCS) plays a critical role in mitigating loss of coolant accident (LOCA) scenarios through reactor ...

Ultimate Heat Sink Resilience in Seawater‐Cooled Nuclear Power Plants Under Climate‐Driven Warming: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Nuclear power plays a central role in low‐carbon energy systems by providing reliable, dispatchable, and carbon‐free electricity. However, warming of natural cooling water sources, such as seas and coastal marine environments, is posing a growing challenge to the efficiency and reliability of nuclear power plants (NPPs), since it directly impacts ...

Optimal LWR Load‐Following via DE‐Tuned PID and Two‐Point Kinetics: Balanced Exploration–Exploitation versus GA

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Load‐following operations in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) require robust control strategies to maintain a safe spatial power distribution amid dynamic power demands. Specifically, controlling the axial power offset and mitigating xenon‐induced oscillations during large load variations pose a significant challenge for conventional tuning methods ...
