Small Modular Reactor (SMR)

Abstract

Today, countries around the world are aiming to change the traditional model of energy production that mainly uses fossil fuels. Whether it is natural gas, coal, or oil, which is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, to the production of new forms of energy that do not cause environmental impacts, or commonly known as clean energy such as solar, wind, water, and nuclear. Greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere in very small amounts. Especially compared to energy production using fossil fuels, clean energy sources do not have all the advantages. Some energy sources are not stable enough to be used, and they may require relatively high resources and investments. So nuclear energy is therefore another option for countries that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere or to zero carbon emissions. This is because it is the main cause of the global warming problem that we are facing today. Small Modular Reactor (SMR) It is an independent small-scale nuclear power generation system that can generate electricity completely on its own, and has many advantages, such as continuous power generation. It has no carbon dioxide emissions and uses little construction space. It also has a high security protection system. In the future, it is expected that small modular nuclear power plants (SMR) will play an increasingly important role in generating electricity from clean energy.
