소형모듈원자로의 안전한 배치를 지원하기 위한 연구 권장 사항" (Research Recommendations to Support the Safe Deployment of Small Modular Reactors)
본 보고서는 소형 모둘형 원자로(EGSMR)의 효율적이고 안정적인 에너지 생산을 위한 권장 사항에 대해 서술하고 있습니다.
The NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) convened an Expert Group on Small Modular Reactors (EGSMR) to help evaluate the safety impacts of small modular reactors (SMRs). A growing number of NEA member countries are investigating the potential deployment of SMRs to efficiently and reliably increase energy generation while minimising the impacts on the climate. A range of technologies are employed in SMR designs with a variety of coolants (water-cooled and non-water-cooled) and reactor sizes. SMRs are envisaged for multiple applications (electricity, hydrogen production, process heat, etc.) and locations (grid-scale generation, remote operations, floating power stations, mining/industrial operations). They also utilise a modular design, which should grant efficient construction through serial production of multiple identical units. Therefore, SMRs require supporting research and new safety evaluations.
