In recently years, the advanced small nuclear power reactors, also called small modular reactors ( SMR) , has attracted a lot of attention in the worldwide context.This article describes the characteristics of SMR and analyzes its prospects and challenges.This paper shows that in which areas that energy can not be provided by the traditional large-scale nuclear power reactors and where that the nuclear power plants with large-scale reactors can not compete with the non-nuclear power plant technology,SMR,as a versatile distrib-uted integrated energy,which has enormous potential in expanding peaceful applications of nuclear energy.%介绍了先进小型模块化反应堆( Small Modular Reactor:SMR)的特性,并分析了其应用前景及所面临的挑战;描述了国际上主要核国家和我国SMR的研发现状。分析表明在无法由传统大型反应堆核电厂提供能源的区域以及在大型反应堆核电厂不能与非核技术电厂相竞争的领域,SMR作为一种多用途的分布式综合能源在扩大核能的和平应用上面具有巨大的潜力。
