Near-Term Reactors - SMR potential Sample Clauses

Near-Term Reactors - SMR potential. The acronym SMR can stand for small modular reactor or small and medium reactor, which can be a source of confusion. The usage seems to be evolving to standardize on the modular definition, and that is what is used here. The World Nuclear Association defines SMRs as follows: “Small modular reactors (SMRs) are defined as nuclear reactors generally 300MWe equivalent or less, designed with modular technology using module factory fabrication, pursuing economies of series production and short construction times. This definition, from the World Nuclear Association, is closely based on those from the IAEA and the U.S. Nuclear Energy Institute.” [96] A number of different SMR designs have been proposed and some are progressing: • China - The 210 MWe HTR under construction and just discussed as a GEN IV concept is considered to be a modular design. China also is planning to construct two units of the 100 MWe ACP100 integral PWR. • Russia – Construction was started in 2007 and expected to be completed in 2019 on a 70 MWe floating plant composed of two identical 35 MWe reactor units [97]. Russian firms are also developing a 50 MWe reactor for ice breakers, the RITM-200. • Argentina - Construction was started on a 25 MWe prototype of Argentina’s CAREM reactor in 2014. The prototype is to be followed by a larger 100-200 MWe version. • South Korea – The 90 MWe SMART integral PWR reactor received design certification in 2012. In 2015, an MOU was signed with Saudi Arabia to construct two SMART reactors there [98] but no construction schedule has been announced. • India – A cooperation agreement was signed with Sri Lanka in 2015 that included the possibility of future sales of small-scale reactors [99]. Sri Lanka expressed interest in establishing 600 MWe of nuclear capacity by 2030. The design was not specified. • U.S./Japan – GE Hitachi proposed constructing two PRISM (311 MWe) sodium fast reactors in the UK as an option for disposing of the country’s 140 tonne plutonium stockpile [100, 101]. • A number of designs have been proposed in the U.S., and two designs have received governmental support from a cooperative grant of $452M for SMR development and licensing support. o In 2012, Gen4 Energyhh (25 MWe fast reactor), Holtec (140 MWe PWR) and NuScale ($45 MWe PWR) signed agreements with DOE to work with the Savannah River Site and Savannah River National Laboratory to select sites for demonstrations. o In 2013, BWXT’s mPower 180 MWe design was chosen to receive DOE fundi...
