摘要
Due to emerging climate change concerns coupled with increased global energy demand, eventually the world needs to move to low-carbon-emission electricity-generating sources-nonrenewables, such as nuclear power, and renewables, as hydro, wind, geothermal, solar, and tidal. The only source is nuclear power that is reliable, concentrated, and can be of large installed capacity and operate with high capacity factors. This paper updates and presents the current status of nuclear-power deployment and small modular reactors (SMRs) development in the world. Unfortunately, within last 9years, electricity generation with nuclear power has decreased from similar to 14% before the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) severe accident in March of 2011 to about similar to 10%. Therefore, it is important to follow up with and understand the latest trends in nuclear power including SMRs development.
