Title: Hybrid energy systems (HESs) using small modular reactors (SMRs)

Journal Article · · Handbook of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors
OSTI ID:1162228

Large-scale nuclear reactors are traditionally operated for a singular purpose: steady-state production of dispatchable baseload electricity that is distributed broadly on the electric grid. While this implementation is key to a sustainable, reliable energy grid, small modular reactors (SMRs) offer new opportunities for increased use of clean nuclear energy for both electric and thermal ap plications in more locations – while still accommodating the desire to support renewable production sources.
