概要 （英文）

THIS PAPER PRESENTS A REVIEW OF POTENTIAL ATTRACTIVENESS OF MODULAR REACTOR CONCEPT UNDER WHICH SMALL CAPACITY REACTOR MODULES ARE PRODUCED CONTINUOUSLY IN WORKSHOPS WITH A HIGH QUALITY STANDARD. FOLLOWING THE DESCRIPTION OF CHANGING CONDITIONS WHICH REQUIRE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECOMICAL REACTORS EVEN AT SMALL CAPACITIES, A SIMPLIFIED THEORETICAL ANALYSIS IS REPORTED ON ECONOMICS OF MODULAR REACTORS. THE RESULT SHOWS THAT LEARNING EFFECTS GAINED BY REPETITIVE PRODUCTION COULD OVERCOME THE DISECONOMIES OF SCALE AND THAT MODULER REACTORS COULD BE COMPETITIVE WITH LARGE-SCALE REACTORS CONSIDERING THE ADVANTAGES OF SMALL CAPACITY POWER SOURCES. SINCE SMALLER CAPACITIES OF MODULAR REACTORS ARE ADVANTAGEOUS TO INHERENT SAFETY, DEVELOPMENT OF MODULER REACTORS COULD LEAD TO URBAN-SITABLE REACTOR SHAVING TWO FEATURES OF ECONOMICS AND SAFETY.
