Nuclear power for the decarbonization of the district heating sector in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article summarizes and evaluates the progress of research on nuclear power utilization for decarbonizing of the district heating sector. Nuclear power represents the most concentrated carbon-free energy source, which should become an integral part of the heat energy industry of the future. The current primary fuel mix for district heating is based mainly on fossil fuels – coal and gas. This work evaluates the current situation of nuclear-based district heating by conventional large nuclear power plant units and maps the future possibilities of new small modular reactors concepts applications or new-build plants integration. It introduces the district heating sector situation and the current potential of nuclear sources for heat production. The existing heat-only SMR concepts are presented and compared. Heat energy demand in the Czech’s largest cities is detailly described and evaluated for nuclear unit utilization. Finally, a summary of all possibilities of nuclear source applications for the Czech Republic district heating sector decarbonization is provided, emphasizing topical issues and challenges.
