A multicriteria small modular reactor site selection model under long-term variations of climatic conditions -- A case study for the province of Saskatchewan, Canada

Nuclear power has the potential to provide a clean solution to relieve environmental pressures caused by increasing fossil fuel consumption. As an emerging technology, small modular reactors (SMRs) are developed to tackle global needs for providing safe, clean, and economic energy. The identification of suitable sites for SMRs, which is a multifaceted process and includes multiple considerations, is a crucial step for their development. In this …
