소형 모듈 원자로: 새로운 원자력 에너지 패러다임 (Small Modular Reactors: A new nuclear energy paradigm)
본 보고서는 중소형 원자로의 도입 여부를 결정할 때 고려해야 할 요소와 중소형 원자로의 안전하고 지속 가능한 배치를 가능하게 하는 방법을 서술하고 있습니다.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) continues to monitor the efforts of Member States in the development and deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs), recognizing their potential as a viable solution to meet clean energy demand, both in expanding and embarking countries. Member State interest in SMRs, including microreactors, is increasing, and significant institutional and industrial efforts are being devoted to facilitating their development and early deployment. With this increase in global efforts and activities, the IAEA has received requests from Member States for support and general understanding of these innovative technologies, including their benefits and challenges. To provide comprehensive support to Member States and effectively coordinate internal efforts, the IAEA recently established a platform on SMRs and their applications.
