The article considers factors contributing to the increased interest in the development of medium and small nuclear power plants (SNPPs) based on small modular reactors (SMR) in terms of a high-tech mass product within the contemporary electric power industry. Conditions for reducing SNPP costs are determined taking into account the modularity and mass production of equipment. The systemic effects of integrating SNPPs into electric power systems and possibilities for their development in the Unified Energy System (UES) of Russia, including as combined heat and power sources (nuclear cogeneration heat plants, CHP) are investigated along with the conditions and requirements for their active application in areas where there is a decentralized power supply.

本文考虑了导致人们对基于小型模块化反应堆（SMR）的中小型核电站（SNPP）开发日益感兴趣的因素，小型模块化反应堆是当代电力工业中的一种高科技批量产品。考虑设备的模块化和批量生产，确定降低SNPP成本的条件。研究了将 SNPP 纳入电力系统的系统性影响及其在俄罗斯统一能源系统 (UES) 中发展的可能性，包括作为热电联产源（核热电联产热电厂，CHP）以及以下条件和要求：它们在分散供电的地区得到了积极的应用。
