  • The purpose of this paper is to present the results of the study, applying Systems Engineering(SE) method, on the feasibility of developing a Melt-down Proof Modular Micro Reactor(MDP-MMR) for its future deployment in Korea. The reactor is being developed by NCSU (North Carolina State University) due to its advantage of melt-down proof nature of the reactor core. For this paper, the characteristics of the MDP-MMR has been studied in terms of fuel characteristics, inherent safety features and passive safety system. The NCSU's development process has been reviewed applying the SE method, and further research is recommended for the feasibility study on deploying such a modular micro reactor in Korea.
