Small Modular Nuclear Heating Reactor (NHR200-II) and Its Industrial Application
Welcome to the IEEE Second Presentation Series on Nuclear Energy. This webinar series examines the evolving role of nuclear energy in achieving global sustainability and energy security objectives. The sessions highlight current developments, opportunities, barriers, and present and future pathways across the nuclear sector.
This presentation introduces the development of Tsinghua University’s Nuclear Heating Reactor (NHR) technology, focusing on the advanced NHR200-II design. The reactor features full-power natural circulation, an integral primary system, and fully passive safety systems, including decay heat removal and boron injection, enabling long-term safe operation without operator intervention. With simplified system design and enhanced inherent safety, NHR200-II provides a reliable and low-carbon energy solution. Its applications include industrial steam supply, seawater desalination, district heating and cooling, and integrated energy systems for data centers. Flexible steam compression technologies enable adaptation to diverse industrial demands. Overall, NHR200-II demonstrates strong potential for safe, efficient, and versatile utilization of nuclear energy in future low-carbon energy systems.
