Abstract
This comment aims to provide a critical analysis of the article entitled ”Uncertainties in estimating production costs of future nuclear technologies: A model-based analysis of small modular reactors” [Energy 281 (2023) 128204], which presents a model-based analysis to estimate the future costs of small modular reactors (SMRs). Their work is timely, containing models from production theory that could be used to predict the future cost of nuclear technologies. Nonetheless, it is unfortunate that the article contains a series of unjustified assumptions that severely inflate the results.
期刊介绍：
Energy is a multidisciplinary, international journal that publishes research and analysis in the field of energy engineering. Our aim is to become a leading peer-reviewed platform and a trusted source of information for energy-related topics.
The journal covers a range of areas including mechanical engineering, thermal sciences, and energy analysis. We are particularly interested in research on energy modelling, prediction, integrated energy systems, planning, and management.
Additionally, we welcome papers on energy conservation, efficiency, biomass and bioenergy, renewable energy, electricity supply and demand, energy storage, buildings, and economic and policy issues. These topics should align with our broader multidisciplinary focus.
