Les Small Modular Reactors (SMR)

Annales des Mines - Réalités industrielles, 2012
Les SMR sont des réacteurs nucléaires d’une puissance inférieure à 300 mégawatts électriques (MWé). Fabriqués en usine sous la forme de modules, ils sont ensuite transportés et assemblés sur site. Ces réacteurs peuvent être construits seuls (une unité isolée) ou en modules assemblés pour constituer une centrale de grande puissance dite multi-modules ...

Obstacles to Overcome by Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)

ASME 2011 Small Modular Reactors Symposium, 2011
The development of and support for small modular nuclear power plants (NPPs) is gaining strong momentum in USA. The reasons are that they could require reduced financing and shortened construction schedule. Also, they could address the reduced size need for electricity in some USA locations and, in particular, in developing foreign countries.
