Teplator is a design for a small modular reactor (SMR) developed by a consortium of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen and the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics at the Czech Technical University in Prague. Teplator builds on decades of development in nuclear energy and relies on proven technologies of thermal nuclear reactors. Its design is most similar to that of the well-known Canadian CANDU reactor. The project aims to create a standardized small modular reactor that provides cost-effective, emission-free heat for district heating or cooling. Teplator is a channel-type heavy-water reactor that uses heavy water as both coolant and moderator. A key feature of the design is its ability to utilize already-used nuclear fuel from conventional reactors (BWR, PWR, and VVER) or slightly enriched fresh fuel.[1][2]
The design of the reactor and its systems includes, among other features, two storage tanks used for heat accumulation. This innovative construction ensures a continuous heat supply to consumers, even if demand fluctuates throughout the day. The thermal storage systems compensate for peak consumption while storing excess heat when demand exceeds production. These thermal storage units also serve as a passive safety feature for dissipating decay heat after reactor shutdown.[1][3]
