Cover Story: The peculiar design features of small modular reactors (SMR) make them perfect candidates to withstand a broad range of natural disruptions and to recover faster from them, compared to conventional nuclear power plants (cNPPs), thus rendering them a major potential asset for guaranteeing the resilience and security of power supply. The review focuses on natural technological (NaTech) events that impact a typical integrated energy system (IESs) within which SMRs are embedded. View this paper
