Abstract

This chapter presents the innovative approach to combined-cycle systems for power conversion of small modular reactor (SMR) designed in the form of liquid metal reactor infrastructure, and the need for nuclear power plants for the production of electricity. SMRs are ways to provide safe, clean, and affordable nuclear power options. The advanced SMRs currently under development in the United States represent a variety of sizes, technology options, and deployment scenarios. These advanced reactors are envisioned to vary in size from a couple of megawatts up to hundreds of megawatts can be used for power generation, process heat, desalination, or other industrial use. In-depth chapter describes how advanced SMRs offer multiple advantages, such as relatively small size, reduced capital investment, location flexibility, and provisions for incremental power additions. SMRs also offer distinct safeguards, security, and nonproliferation advantages.
