Technological Background of an Improved Nuclear Reactors

Advanced nuclear reactors are being built to change their energy production more rapidly to meet demand, assisting in grid stabilization in regions where intermittent renewables are abundant. Freshwater, molten salt, high-temperature gas, as well as liquid metal will all be used in advanced reactors as coolants. The use of heat and other types of energy produced as a by-product by nuclear power reactors for desalination processes, hydrogen generation, district heating, and other industrial uses is gaining popularity. At the end, the researchers concluded that the most advanced light water Small Modular Reactor (SMR) model is a 60 MW reactors module designed by NuScale Power in the United States. The designs were chosen based on a variety of criteria, including safety, sustainability, affordability, security protocols, proliferation resistance, as well as waste reduction. The implementation of these innovations discussed in this paper might begin by 2030 and are projected to achieve commercialization before 2050.
