Abstract

U svrhu analiziranja potencijalnog utjecaja implementiranja nuklearnih elektrana s SMR-ovima, provedene su analize trenutnog stanja razvoja nekoliko izabranih SMR-ova te potencijalnog utjecaja izgradnje nuklearnih elektrana s SMR-ovima u Republici Hrvatskoj na proizvodnju ugljičnog dioksida. Dostupni podaci pokazuju visok stupanj zrelosti SMR-ova i novih tehnologija upravljanja i zaštite implementiranima u njima. Također, u Republici Hrvatskoj je moguće kratkoročno značajno smanjiti proizvodnju električne energije iz visokougljičnih izvora proizvodnjom jedne nuklearne elektrane s SMR-ovima. Dugoročni plan napuštanja visokougljičnih izvora je izvediv, ali je potrebno detaljno analizirati potencijalna rješenja za određene probleme koji mogu biti uzrokovani zamjenjivanjem postojećih termoelektrana nuklearnim elektranama s SMR-ovima.

Abstract (english)

In order to analyse possible effects of implementing nuclear power plants with SMRs, the current development state of several SMRs and the effects of building nuclear power plants on the production of carbon dioxide in the Republic of Croatia have been analysed. Available data shows that SMRs and new control and safety systems implemented in them have reached a high level of maturity. Additionally, it is possible to reduce the Republic of Croatia's high carbon electricity production by a significant amount in the short term by manufacturing a single nuclear power plant with SMRs. A long term plan of abandoning high carbon energy sources is achievable, but it requires detailed analysis of potential solutions to problems that may be caused by replacing existing thermal power plants with nuclear power plants with SMRs.
