SMART is an integral-type small reactor, developed by KAERI that received the first-ever Standard Design Approval (SDA) from Korean regulatory body for a 100 MWe (330 MWth) integral reactor. SMART has enhanced the inherent safety by containing major components such as pressurizer, steam generator, and reactor coolant pumps in a single reactor pressure vessel. It can supply a city with a population of 100,000 with 90 MW electricity and 40,000 tons of fresh water per day, concurrently. The picture (left) shows the three GlassTops during integration, without their side or front panels, at the Mauell facility (our hardware partner); and the picture on the right shows a GlassTop being crated before the long flight from the USA to Korea. |
