“…Based on the findings of IRIS program, the U.S. Department of Energy provided funds for two i-PWR designs. Babcock and Wilcox received one of the funds and designed m-Power (160 MW), while NuScale Power received the another one and developed NuScale Reactor (60 MW) (Buchholz et al, 2015;Carelli, 2015). Many other projects of SMRs have also been developed in various countries around the world, such as SMART (100 MWe) in South Korea (Park, 2011;Hong and Brook, 2018), ACP-100 (100 MWe) in China (Ramana et al, 2013) and KLT-40S (two units of 35 MWe) in Russia (Nian and Zhong, 2020).…”

As an emerging means of energy supply, small modular reactors (SMRs) are considered as a promising option for relieving environmental pressure caused by increasing fossil fuel consumption. Since SMRs are at an early stage of development, in-depth analysis on the necessity and feasibility of their deployment is essential. The site selection of SMRs, which is a multifaceted process and should be guided by a clearly established set of criteria, is a crucial step. To propose comprehensive recommendations for SMR site selection, a review is provided in this study. The review involves development process, technical characteristics and potential applications of SMRs, research status of SMR site selection, and criteria for site selection of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Different considerations of siting criteria between SMRs and NPPs are analyzed. Based on the review and analyses, perspectives and targeted suggestions on SMR site selection are provided.
