“…At present, the research on SMR site selection is limited, which cannot provide a comprehensive and sufficient basis for siting SMRs. However, there have been many studies on other types of nuclear installations, such as underground nuclear facilities (Watson et , 1975;Kroger, 1976), offshore nuclear facilities (Klepper and Anderson, 1974;Kindt, 1980), nuclear waste storage (Hatch, 1992;McCreath and Diederichs, 1994) and traditional NPPs (Salih et al, 2018;Tromans et al, 2019), which can serve as references. Since the reactors in traditional NPPs has the highest similarity with SMRs in terms of designs and applications, NPP-siting related studies can serve as key references for SMR siting.…”

As an emerging means of energy supply, small modular reactors (SMRs) are considered as a promising option for relieving environmental pressure caused by increasing fossil fuel consumption. Since SMRs are at an early stage of development, in-depth analysis on the necessity and feasibility of their deployment is essential. The site selection of SMRs, which is a multifaceted process and should be guided by a clearly established set of criteria, is a crucial step. To propose comprehensive recommendations for SMR site selection, a review is provided in this study. The review involves development process, technical characteristics and potential applications of SMRs, research status of SMR site selection, and criteria for site selection of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Different considerations of siting criteria between SMRs and NPPs are analyzed. Based on the review and analyses, perspectives and targeted suggestions on SMR site selection are provided.

“…e original intention of the OFNPP proposal is that OFNPP could be an effective solution for the scarcity of land site for nuclear power plants. Klepper et al [1] made a survey of the availability and characteristics of offshore sites in the US for OFNPPs. Zhang et al [2] performed safety analysis of a 300 MWe OFNPP in the marine environment by investigating the effects of motions for the six degrees of freedom on the engineered safety systems of the OFNPP.…”

Focused on the utilization of nuclear energy in offshore oil fields, the correspondence between various hazards caused by blowout accidents (including associated, secondary, and derivative hazards) and the initiating events that may lead to accidents of offshore floating nuclear power plant (OFNPP) is established. The risk source, risk characteristics, risk evolution, and risk action mode of blowout accidents in offshore oil fields are summarized and analyzed. The impacts of blowout accident in offshore oil field on OFNPP are comprehensively analyzed, including injection combustion and spilled oil combustion induced by well blowout, drifting and explosion of deflagration vapor clouds formed by well blowouts, seawater pollution caused by blowout oil spills, the toxic gas cloud caused by well blowout, and the impact of mobile fire source formed by a burning oil spill on OFNPP at sea. The preliminary analysis methods and corresponding procedures are established for the impact of blowout accidents on offshore floating nuclear power plants in offshore oil fields, and a calculation example is given in order to further illustrate the methods.
