소형 모듈 원자로(SMR) 대시보드 (The NEA Small Modular Reactor Dashboard)

[NEA SMR Dashboard]는 탄소제로 달성을 위해 필요한 SMR 기술 정보를 제공합니다.

The strongly stated desire of the global community to reduce emissions of carbon, the need to provide a path for nearly a billion energy-impoverished people to improve their lives, and the recently-reinforced imperative to assure energy security and reliability for all countries has accelerated the need for and the pace of innovation. No area of energy technology has seen a more transformational surge of innovation than nuclear energy. We today bear witness to a wave of innovation in Small Modular Reactors that has the potential to reshape modern society. With a shift from conventional large-scale construction to factory manufacturing to drive down costs and leaps in technology that will allow flexible and diverse applications, a portfolio of SMR products is racing to the market. Among other hard-to-abate sectors, these technologies will enable the replacement of coal for on-grid power generation; replace diesel generators for off-grid mining and industrial operations; replace fossil fuels for cogeneration of heat and power for heavy industries and district heating; and enable large-scale water treatment and desalination to produce clean potable water. As the applications and needs are varied, so are the SMRs. Innovative designs range in sizes from smaller than 5 megawatts electric to larger than 300 megawatts electric. They vary in outlet temperatures from about 285°C to nearly 900°C, with some advanced designs in research and development seeking to exceed 1 000°C. This wave of SMR innovation includes various reactor concepts – some based on existing light water designs, others based on next generation concepts – and various configurations – some land-based, others mobile, and marine-based. Some of these technologies are available to the market now, with many others following in the next 5 to 10 years. The NEA SMR Dashboard will help governments understand the pace of progress to commercial deployment of these technologies as they consider the paths available to achieve net zero by 2050.
