Abstract
Small power engineering is a new direction of development of the nuclear industry. In this paper, the design of the integrated low-power reactor project “MODEST” is considered. The results of calculations of the main technical characteristics of the power installation are presented. Natural circulation of the coolant is carried out in the module to increase the safety of the project. Natural heat removal from active core prevents accidents associated with loss of power supply. In the design, there is a more efficient helical coil steam generator, compared to straight-tube ones. Such a reactor can be used for power generation, hydrogen production and water desalination.
