소형모듈식원자로의 핵연료주기 후단에 대한 고려사항(HomePublicationsConsiderations for the Back End of the Fuel Cycle of Small Modular Reactors Considerations for the Back End of the Fuel Cycle of Small Modular Reactors)
본 보고서는 소형모듈형 원자료와 관련 기술 회의의 진행 과정, 세션 요약 및 결론을 소개합니다.
There is an increasing interest in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and their applications, in part due to their consideration as a low carbon energy source in the climate change mitigation plans of many Member States. SMRs are newer generation reactors designed to generate electric power typically up to 300 MW(e) and for non-electrical industrial applications (e.g., water desalination and heat generation for industrial processes). According to the IAEA Booklet on Advances in SMR Technology Developments [1], complementary to ARIS and published in 2022, there are more than 80 SMR concepts currently under development, spanning a significant range of reactor technologies. The SMR concepts can be deployed in a variety of configurations, ranging from single-unit installations to multimodule plants with a different degree of modularization across designs to suit the requirements of the operator.
