Description
As the latest small modular pressurized water reactor developed by the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET) of Tsinghua University, the NHR200-II maintains all the technical advantages of its predecessors (NHR5, NHR200-I), including integrated layout, full-power natural circulation, self-pressurization, intermediate loop isolation, and passive safety. The off-site emergency measures are technically unnecessary due to the elimination of large-scale radioactive release. Simplified auxiliary systems and component design requirements make NHR200-II operationally more straightforward, enhancing its economic viability. NHR200-II can meet various market demands, such as residential heating, industrial processing steam, cogeneration, seawater desalination, and centralized cooling. Currently, the industrial steam supply system is in the design phase, with the reactor having a power of 200MW and a primary circuit pressure of 8.0MPa, capable of providing superheated steam above 1.6MPa for industrial processes. With increasing demands for greenhouse gas emission reduction and air pollution control in China and globally, NHR200-II is poised for more emerging opportunities.
