The advanced SMRs currently under development in the U.S. represent a variety of sizes, technology options and deployment scenarios. These advanced reactors, envisioned to vary in size from a couple megawatts up to hundreds of megawatts can be used for power generation, process heat, desalination, or other industrial uses. In-depth chapters describe 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. The authors present a thorough examination of the technology and defend methods by which the new generation of nuclear power plants known as GEN-IV can safely be used as an efficient source of renewable energy. Provides a unique and innovative approach to the implementation of Small Modular Reactor as part of GEN-IV technology; Discusses how Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) can deliver a viable alternative to Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs); Presents an argument defending the need for nuclear power plant as a source of energy, its efficiency and cost effectiveness, as well as safety related issues. 606 $aNuclear energy 606 $aEnergy systems 606 $aMaterials science 606 $aForce and energy 606 $aNuclear Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/113000 606 $aEnergy Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/115000 606 $aEnergy Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z21000 615 0$aNuclear energy. 615 0$aEnergy systems. 615 0$aMaterials science. 615 0$aForce and energy. 615 14$aNuclear Energy. 615 24$aEnergy Systems. 615 24$aEnergy Materials. 676 $a621.483 676 $a621.483 700 $aZohuri$b Bahman$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0720918 702 $aMcDaniel$b Patrick$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910338233403321 996 $aAdvanced Smaller Modular Reactors$92215571 997 $aUNINA
