Muide Sommidel ju arenduses täitsa huvitav 50MW tuumareaktor mis ongi mõeldud vaid vee soojendamiseks:

Päris lahe disain:VTT began developing the LDR-50 SMR in 2020. The company said LDR-50 is a type name for a reactor with a heat output of 50 MW. The reactor is designed to operate at about 150C (302F) and below 10 bar (145 psi). The group said those operating conditions “are less demanding compared to those of traditional reactors, simplifying the technical solutions needed to meet the high safety standards of the nuclear industry.”
“The pressure required by the LDR-50 reactor is comparable to the pressure that of a household espresso machine,” said Tommi Nyman, CEO of Steady Energy. “It operates at a lower pressure than a district heating network. This ensures that in case of a malfunction which leads to a leak, the leak is contained within the heating plant, without endangering people or the environment.”
TYhe company said the LDR-50 reactor module features two nested pressure vessels, with their intermediate space partly filled with water. It said that when heat removal through the primary heat exchangers is compromised, water in the intermediate space begins to boil, which forms an efficient passive heat transfer route into the reactor pool. The system does not use electricity, nor does it have any mechanical moving parts, which the company said could fail and prevent the cooling function. The group said the reactor technology was awarded a patent in 2021.
Lisaks siis soojusele saaks kasutada merevee magestamiseks või tööstuslikuks otstarbeks veeauru.
Taanis näiteks on üle 80% kõigist majades (ja 67% eramajadest) keskkütte peal ja soojust toodetakse neis kaugkütte jaamades 67 petadžauli aastas. Seda kõike köetakse hetkel muide biomassiga.
Säärased tuumareaktorid tunduks mulle küll loogilisem lahendus, vähemalt osaliselt. Soojemal ajal saab vajadusel kasutada (keemia-) tööstuse jaoks ning kõige soojematel kuudel lihtsalt kinni keerata (tuumajaama jahtumisaeg on pikk, aga mitte pool aastat, saab ajastada küll)
