There is currently significant interest in the development of small
modular reactors (SMRs) for the generation of both electricity and
process heat. SMRs offer potential benefits in terms of better
affordability and enhanced safety, and can also be sited more
flexibly than traditional nuclear plants. Small Modular Reactors:
Nuclear Power Fad or Future? reviews SMR features, promises, and
problems, also discussing what lies ahead for reactors of this
type. The book is organized into three major parts with the first
part focused on the role of energy, especially nuclear energy, for
global development. It also provides a brief history of SMRs. The
second major part presents basic nuclear power plant terminology
and then discusses in depth the attributes of SMRs that distinguish
them from traditional nuclear plants. The third and final major
section discusses the current interest in SMRs from a customer's
perspective and delineates several remaining hurdles that must be
addressed to achieve wide-spread SMR deployment.
