متن کاملLicensing small modular reactors
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. Because of the many novel features incorporated in differen...
متن کاملWishful thinking and real problems: Small modular reactors, planning constraints, and nuclear power in Jordan
Jordan plans to import two conventional gigawatt scale nuclear reactors from Russia that are expensive and too large for Jordan's current electricity grid. Jordan efforts to establish nuclear power might become easier in some ways if the country were to construct Small Modular Reactors, which might be better suited to Jordan's financial capabilities and its smaller electrical grid capacity. But...
متن کاملElectricity Generating Portfolios with Small Modular Reactors
This paper provides a method for estimating the probability distributions of the levelized costs of electricity. These probability distributions can be used to find cost-risk minimizing portfolios of electricity generating assets including Combined-Cycle Gas Turbines (burning natural gas), coalfired power plants with sulfur scrubbers, and Small Modular Reactors, SMRs. Probability densities are ...
متن کاملSmall-Scale Modular Nuclear Power: An Option for Alaska?
The viability of a new generation of nuclear power plants, small modular reactors (SMR), has been studied as a possible way of meeting Alaska’s energy needs in the near to intermediate future. However, in order to understand whether SMRs present a viable option for Alaska, a thorough understanding of the technical, permitting, environmental and economic constraints is required. The intent of th...
