SMR模块化运输带来的挑战

Abstract

Abstract: Due to the long build times and high construction cost of large nuclear power plant projects, small modular reactors have become a hot topic of nuclear industry around the world because SMR can resolve these issues and can be used for various applications. Despite the relatively great amount of literatures published on the safety of SMR cores, there are extremely limited information about the transportation of SMR. This paper investigates literatures and news about SMRs, summaries the challenges arisen from the transportation of SMR as follows: the transportation of large and heavy modules, nuclear fuels and sealed cores loaded with nuclear fuel, and proposes some actions to address them.

Key words: SMR, transportation, modular
