- What are Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)? | IAEA
The IAEA’s Technical Working Group on Small and Medium Sized or Modular Reactors (TWG-SMR) and the SMR Regulators' Forum unites experts to discuss challenges and share experiences related to the development and future deployment of SMRs The IAEA fosters sustainable nuclear energy development
- Small modular reactors (SMR) | IAEA
Small and medium-sized or modular reactors are an option to fulfil the need for flexible power generation for a wider range of users and applications Small modular reactors, deployable either as single or multi-module plant, offer the possibility to combine nuclear with alternative energy sources
- ¿Qué son los reactores modulares pequeños (SMR)?
Los SMR tienen pocas necesidades de combustible Las centrales nucleares basadas en SMR pueden necesitar recargar combustible con menor frecuencia, cada 3 a 7 años, frente al intervalo de 1 a 2 años de las centrales convencionales Algunos SMR están diseñados para funcionar durante un lapso de hasta 30 años sin recargar combustible
