大家可以比較一下,英文和簡中關於這項技術和其前景的報道:
The collapse of NuScale’s project should spell the end for small modular nuclear reactors
Although there were problems specific to the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems project, the financial challenges and cost trends witnessed in that case will afflict any SMR project.
Published Jan. 31, 2024 by M.V. Ramana,the Simons Chair in Disarmament, Global and Human Security and Professor at the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
This past November, the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, or UAMPS, terminated what was to be “the first NuScale Power small modular reactor plant to begin operation in the United States.” This was a death foretold; the red flags have been obvious for years now. Although there were problems specific to that project, the financial challenges and cost trends witnessed in this case will afflict any small modular nuclear reactor project. In a rational world, no utility or government would invest another dime on these theoretical reactor concepts.

《環球時報》:
作為核能創新的典型代表,小型模塊核反應堆具有用途多元、部署靈活、環境友好、安全性高等突出特點,可滿足中小型電網的供電、城市供熱、工業供汽、海水淡化、同位素生產等需求,具有很好的發展預期和市場前景。一份來自國際原子能機構的統計數據顯示,全球範圍內18個國家正在開發的小型模塊核反應堆技術就超過80種。
“十幾年前,當中國開始做小型核反應堆技術研究的時候,致力於開展這項技術研究的國家並不多,但最近幾年,開展相關研究的國家越來越多。”中核集團模塊式多用途小型壓水堆總設計師、中國核動力研究設計院小堆總設計師宋丹戎9月5日在接受《環球時報》記者采訪時介紹稱,中核集團正充分發揮完整核工業體係優勢,高速推進小堆技術與產業發展。“玲龍一號”是中核集團在成熟壓水堆核電站和核電技術的基礎上開發的具有自主知識產權的創新型核反應堆,是全球首個通過IAEA通用安全審查的小型模塊化壓水反應堆。海南昌江“玲龍一號”小型模塊化先進壓水堆預計2026年建成投運,目前其一體化壓力容器已吊裝就位,標誌著我國在模塊式小型堆建造上走在了世界前列。
既然是一項應用技術,為何隻字不提最基本的一個指標:性價比,計入這個反應堆的造價和運營費用,在它的lifespan裏,發的電是多少錢一度?
