Saturated Adaptive Output-Feedback Power-Level Control for Modular High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors

Energies, 2014
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are those nuclear fission reactors with electrical output powers of less than 300 MWe. Due to its inherent safety features, the modular high temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) has been seen as one of the best candidates ...

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in Saskatchewan – Should SMRs be added to Saskatchewan’s energy portfolio?

, 2021
Should Saskatchewan use Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to help lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) emitted by generating electricity? In this capstone, I identify and assess a number of policy considerations that are at play in answering this question. Canada committed to lowering its GHG emissions as part of the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015.
