There is a long-standing and growing interest in Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) mainly
because of their potential advantages in terms of safety, sustainable fuel cycle, and the high …

Abstract Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) have been historically deployed to cover the base-
load of the electricity demand. Nowadays some NPPs might perform daily load cycling …

Policymakers are increasingly discussing the role of nuclear and renewable energy in
replacing fossil-fuelled power generation, especially coal. In this debate, one of the key …

To meet climate policy goals, it will be necessary to deploy a series of low-carbon energy
technologies, including nuclear power. The small modular reactor (SMR) can potentially …

Abstract Small Modular Reactors are gaining significant interest for their reduced footprint,
lower power output, modularity, and innovative features. The licensing of SMRs is key to …

This study reviews previous experimental facilities and test programs relevant to water-
cooled reactor system design and analysis to meet regulatory compliances. This study aims …

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the suitability of nuclear power as an
option to combat the escalating climate emergency. Summarizing and evaluating key …

Small modular reactors (SMRs) represent a promising option for providing clean and
sustainable energy due to their potential for enhanced safety, reduced capital costs, and …

There is a growing interest in Small Modular nuclear Reactors (SMRs) driven mostly by the
concerns in decarbonising the electricity and heat sectors. Despite the expected advantages …

In the first section, this report analyses Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) in the context of
megaprojects, explaining why they are often delivered over budget and late. In the second …
