Resiliency of Industrial Complexes Powered by Small Modular Reactors

Industry is the engine of development of the States when it is safe and competitive. However, it is energy-exigent, which is why the current problems in the energy sector are forcing the businesses to look for other sources of energy. Due to the increasing availability and safety of small modular reactors, in the present article, we propose to connect industrial facilities with a small modular reactor in a certain area. This will create very complex systems that can only be given the expected performance if they have high resiliency. This means that they will be composed of safe objects and the whole will be safe and have the ability to quickly perform a qualified response and maintain perfor-mance at a specified level even under critical conditions. With regard to the variability of the world, both, the safety and the resiliency must be managed. In the article, we present the methodology for safety and resiliency management on a real example that we solve in practice.
