Small Modular Reactors: Learning From the Past
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science"
DOI: 10.1115/1.4050478
Abstract: Most emerging small modular reactor (SMR) designs resemble older reactors that were designed in the early days of the nuclear technology. Experience with operating these old reactors can contribute to the licensing of new SMRs,… read more here.
