Licensing small modular reactors

Energy, 2013
Abstract Small modular reactor designs with power levels of less than 300 MWe are being developed in several countries. While there are several potential advantages with these reactors, they are also confronted with multiple challenges. Important among these challenges is to have these new reactor designs licensed by national regulatory bodies ...

Sodium-cooled Small Modular Reactors

Physics and High Technology, 2022
Amid expectations for nuclear power as a carbon-free energy source are growing to prepare for climate change, deploying efforts for small modular reactors (SMRs) are being actively carried out for the application area to which existing large nuclear power plants are not proper to contribute.

Small Modular Reactor

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are safer, more flexible, & more affordable than big reactors. They are becoming popular as an affordable, scalable, & adaptable substitute for conventional large-scale nuclear power. SMRs are positioned to be a key component of low-carbon, sustainable energy systems due to growing international interest & ...

Small Modular Nuclear Reactors

2018
There is growing UK and international interest in using 'small modular nuclear reactors' (SMRs) to generate electricity, and the UK Government announced a number of measures to support SMR development in the 2018 Nuclear Sector Deal. Stakeholders suggest that, compared with conventional nuclear reactors, SMRs could offer cost savings to operators and ...

Briefing: Small modular reactors

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Energy, 2013
The worldwide need for energy, and particularly energy that does not generate carbon dioxide, has led to the possibility of nuclear reactors being installed in countries that previously have not used them. In many of these countries the electrical grid system is limited and would not be robust enough for the large power reactors currently under ...

An Overview of the Westinghouse Small Modular Reactor

ASME 2011 Small Modular Reactors Symposium, 2011
The Westinghouse Small Modular Reactor (SMR) incorporates an integral pressurized water reactor (iPWR) design in which all components associated with the nuclear steam supply system are housed within one pressure vessel. The Westinghouse SMR design also utilizes many of the key features from the AP1000® plant, including passive safety systems.

The Future of Small Modular Reactors

2017
The small size and the modular structure of the SMRs make them suitable to small electric grids. For this reason, they are a good option for locations that cannot accommodate large-scale nuclear power plants. The modular construction process associated to SMRs would make them more affordable by reducing capital costs and construction times.

Small Modular Reactor Design Considerations

Volume 3: Design and Analysis, 2011
With growing worries about climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, issues and risks associated with hydrocarbon supplies, many government agencies are working to push the development of licensing for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). SMRs are part of a new generation of nuclear power plants being designed all over the world.
