A Nuclear 3S (Safety, Security, and Safeguards) Assessment for Small Modular Reactors in East Asia
The NTS Centre organised the RSIS Seminar on “A Nuclear 3S (Safety, Security, and Safeguards) Assessment for Small Modular Reactors in East Asia” on 31 May 2022 at the RSIS Lecture Theatre. The seminar was delivered by Dr Jorshan Choi, a retired nuclear scientist from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Dr Choi presented examples of emerging Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and assessed their nuclear safety, security and safeguards implications. He also discussed key challenges to introducing SMRs in Southeast Asia such as regulatory framework, operation and maintenance, spent fuel management, and nuclear 3S implications.
