前言/序言
With the advancement of nuclear technology and a resurgence in global interest, nuclear power has entered a new stage characterized by batch development and technological upgrading in many countries around the world. Given the substantial demand for nuclear energy in both the electric and non-electric markets, the development of large nuclear power units alone is insufficient to meet the broad applications of nuclear energy. Consequently, small modular reactors (SMRs) with disruptive technology, enhanced safety, good economic efficiency, and shorter construction cycle, have emerged.
Since 2003, the Nuclear Power Institute of China has been exploring new reactors and research reactors to address the emerging needs in nuclear desalination and nuclear heating markets. In 2010, China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) initiated a dedicated research program for the ACP100 SMR. In April 2016, the ACP100 became the world’s first SMR to successfully complete the general safety review by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In 2020, the preliminary safety analysis report for the ACP100 SMR demonstration project at Changjiang, Hainan Province, was approved by China’s National Nuclear Safety Administration. In July 2021, this demonstration project officially began its construction.
Based on the proven pressurized water reactor (PWR) technology, the ACP100 adopts the “integrated” reactor design and the “passive” safety system, elevating its safety to the technical level of Gen III nuclear energy systems. This book primarily serves the following purposes: explaining the concept of SMRs and their developments worldwide; providing a comprehensive and objective analysis of the development trends and routes of SMRs; offering suggestions on China’s SMR development roadmap; outlining the main technical features of SMRs, and discussing the assessment methods and potential applications of SMRs. Our goal is to provide readers,industry professionals, and policymakers with a thorough, objective, and systematic understanding of SMRs, thereby removing any uncertainties related to SMR decisionmaking.
