Abstract
The article considers factors contributing to the increased interest in the development of medium and small nuclear power plants (SNPPs) based on small modular reactors (SMR) in terms of a high-tech mass product within the contemporary electric power industry. Conditions for reducing SNPP costs are determined taking into account the modularity and mass production of equipment. The systemic effects of integrating SNPPs into electric power systems and possibilities for their development in the Unified Energy System (UES) of Russia, including as combined heat and power sources (nuclear cogeneration heat plants, CHP) are investigated along with the conditions and requirements for their active application in areas where there is a decentralized power supply.
