A historical review and analysis on the selection of nuclear reactor types and implications to development programs for advanced reactors; A Japanese study

Energy Reports, 2021
A light water reactor (LWR) is the most common reactor type in the world today, and will likely continue to be the main technology of nuclear power towards the mid-21st century.

Emerging small modular nuclear power reactors: A critical review

Physics Open, 2020
This paper reviews the smallness, modularity and reactor-design aspects of emerging small modular reactors (SMRs). It is shown that small (whether in physical size or power level) reactors are not new, but offer economic and flexibility advantages that ...

Seismic isolation of small modular reactors using metamaterials

AIP Advances, 2018
Adaptation of metamaterials at micro- to nanometer scales to metastructures at much larger scales offers a new alternative for seismic isolation systems. These new isolation systems, known as periodic foundations, function both as a structural foundation
