Research and Suggestions on The Facing Problems of Integration Development of Small Reactors and Coal Power Units
To cope with the increasingly serious problem of climate change,decarbonization and cleanliness have become the main keynote of global energy development.The decarbonization of the power system is an important part of society-wide zero-carbon development.Nuclear energy is a safe,low-carbon,clean and high-energy-density strategic energy source,which plays an important role in optimizing the energy structure and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.As a cutting-edge field of nuclear energy utilization,small reactors have high economy while enhancing safety.According to the current situation of coal power units and the characteristics of future small reactor development,four different types of fusion development modes are proposed.The fusion development of small reactors and coal power units can not only improve the efficiency of social energy use and reduce the intensity of carbon emissions,but also enhance the security and reliability of energy use under the new power system.Improving the intrinsic safety of small reactor technology,solving the public psychological safety problem,reducing the unit cost of small reactors,and broadening the scope of application of small reactors and coal power units are conducive to solving the problems of development of small reactors,and promoting the integration of small reactors and coal power units.
