摘要

The article substantiates the need for the development of a small modular reactor (SMR) plant for decentralized power supply to remote regions. Key 2022–2024 R&D results on the development of the engineering design of the SHELF‑M reactor system for the SMR plant are presented. A computational and experimental substantiation of the design solutions adopted for the reactor plant, systems and equipment, and structural materials was carried out. The results of the coupled neutronics and thermal-hydraulic calculations are provided. The layout solutions of the experimental SMR plant site and key areas for increasing its competitiveness, e.g. the use of robotic complexes and AI-based remote-control systems, are presented.
