Description (French)
L'objectif de ce projet est de mener des travaux de recherche sur les petits réacteurs modulaires (PRM) et de permettre un débat public éclairé sur une technologie émergente en fournissant une source de connaissances indépendantes, de qualité supérieure, y compris la caractérisation de diverses technologies liées aux PRM, une analyse détaillée des coûts du cycle de vie et de l'impact des PRM à cycle ouvert et fermé, ainsi que l'examen des champs d'application des PRM.
Expected Results
Under this project, the proponent will conduct research to address knowledge gaps in civil society around SMRs and will result in novel, credible, and independent analysis of two broad categories of SMR technology and one potential SMR application.
Expected Results (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet, le promoteur effectuera des recherches afin de combler les lacunes concernant les connaissances de la société civile entourant les PRM; ainsi, il en résultera une analyse nouvelle, crédible et indépendante sur deux grandes catégories technologiques des PRM et sur un champ d'application potentiel pour les PRM.
