Small Modular Reactor / Small and Medium Reactor (SMRs) adalah sebuah inovasi baru dari sistem penggunaan energi nuklir yang dipergunakan untuk pembangkit listrik. SMRs sendiri sudah banyak negara yang berniat untuk membuat reaktor dikarenakan harganya yang murah, membutuhkan tempat yang tidak luas, memiliki sistem safety passive, dan memiliki risiko kecelakaan yang lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan reaktor nuklir konvensional. SMRs sendiri dapat menghasilkan sampai 300 MWe. Namun dikarenakan barunya SMRs, masih banyaknya penelitian yang harus dikembangkan. Terutama penelitian yang mencakup keamanan dan kenyamanan untuk pekerja dan masyarakat sekitar. Salah satu pengembangan dari sistem keamanan passive SMRs yang sedang dikembangkan adalah Residual Heat Removal. Tujuan dari penulisan untuk mengetahui sistem kerja dari sistem RHR yang digunakan pada beberapa reaktor SMRs. Metodologi penulisan dilakukan dengan cara studi literatur dengan membandingkan sistem kerja RHR pada reaktor yang akan dibahas. Hasil kajian yang menunjukan perbedaan, keunggulan, dan kerugian sistem RHR yang digunakan dalam reaktor SMRs adalah tipe SMART reaktor yang paling baik karena SMART reaktor sudah memenuhi minimal persyaratan sistem blackout untuk tipe reaktor smLWRs (small medium Light Water Reactor system).

“…The integral desing houses eight (8) once-through SGs, a pressurizer, four (4) reactor coolant pumps, and twenty five (25) control rod drive mechanisms within a single RPV. The reactor core consist of 57 fuel assemblies with UO 2 enrichment of >5%, configured in a standard 17 × 17 array [36][37][38]. A low core power density of SMART ensures a thermal margin of greater than 15%, which in turn enables the reactor to cope and accommodate anticipated transient scenarios.…”

In recent years, the trend in small modular reactor (SMR) technology development has been towards the water-cooled integral pressurized water reactor (iPWR) type. The innovative and unique characteristics of iPWR-type SMRs provide an enhanced safety margin, and thus offer the potential to expand the use of safe, clean, and reliable nuclear energy to a broad range of energy applications. Currently in the world, there are about eleven (11) iPWR-type SMRs concepts and designs that are in various phases of development: under construction, licensed or in the licensing review process, the development phase, and conceptual design phase. Lack of national and/or internatonal comparative framework for safety in SMR design, as well as the proprietary nature of designs introduces non-uniformity and uncertainties in regulatory review. That said, the major primary reactor coolant system components, such as the steam generator (SG), pressurizer (PRZ), and control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) are integrated within the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) to inherently eliminate or minimize potential accident initiators, such as LB-loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs). This paper presents the design status, innovative features and characteristics of iPWR-type SMRs. We delineate the common technology trends, and highlight the key features of each design. These reactor concepts exploit natural physical laws such as gravity to achieve the safety functions with high level of margin and reliability. In fact, many SMR designs employ passive safety systems (PSS) to meet the evolving stringent regulatory requirements, and the extended consideration for severe accidents. A generic classification of PSS is provided. We constrain our discussion to the decay heat removal system, safety injection system, reactor depressurization system, and containment system. A review and comparative assessment of these passive features in each iPWR-type SMR design is considered, and we underline how it maybe more advantageous to employ passive systems in SMRs in contrast to conventional reactor designs.

“…Therefore, researchers recommended the use of a small modular reactors with desalination as a safer approach [156]. SMART reactors (the Korean system-integrated modular advanced reactor SMR) were proposed with enhanced design features for desalination purposes [218]. SMART reactors use passive systems.…”

Nuclear desalination: A state-of-the-art review

et al. 2019

Thermal desalination is an energy intensive process that satisfies its requirement from conventional fossil fuel sources. Current research efforts aim at finding alternatives for fossil fuels to power thermal desalination. Nuclear energy offers a feasible option for power cogeneration and production of fresh water due to the significant amount of recovered useful heat. The heat is exploited to produce steam and generate electricity on-site to power thermal and membrane desalination facilities. Large or small/medium nuclear reactors (SMR) can be used. This paper reviews the various aspects of nuclear desalination, the different nuclear reactors that have been coupled with desalination processes, and the hybrid desalination systems coupled with nuclear reactors. It also discusses the safety and public acceptance for the nuclear desalination practices as well as the latest economic studies and assessments for on -site nuclear desalination power plants.Ten main projects around the world are primarily operated as nuclear desalination plants. The major desalination processes coupled with nuclear SMRs are MSF, MED and RO. The cost of water production using nuclear desalination was estimated to range from 0.4 $/m 3 to 1.8 $/m 3 depending on the type of reactor and the desalination process used.
