SMR 2019 conference is already 5th in a row and this year will deal with possible non-electric applications of small modular reactors. Especially in the Czech Republic, the sustainability of local lignite heating plants is appearing to be problematic in the long-term horizon.

Gas- or biomass-fired plants are only part of the solution, the same is valid for the waste burning plants. Nuclear sources could be currently suitable for heating of mainly large agglomerations e.g. heat line Dukovany – Brno, heat line Temelín – České Budějovice, alternatively Temelín – Prague. Heat lines Temelín – Týn nad Vltavou or Bohunice – Trnava from large nuclear units are in long term operation. Other projects are under consideration abroad as well, for example heat line Loviisa – Helsinki or operation of VVER reactors on lower parameters as heating plants after the end of their lifetimes. Utilization of SMRs could be very suitable for this purpose as they could introduce an alternative which is in line with emmision policy going out of the commitments from international agreements.
