Abstract

Abstract

One of the new directions of safe development for the future nuclear energy after Fukushima accident is to investigate the innovations for a better design that is safer and more acceptable by the public, which may imply the return of underground nuclear power plant. In this review both foreign and domestic R＆D achievements are introduced with dedicated preamble on recent studies of underground nuclear power plant in China, which demonstrate the convenience of surrounding rocks as barrier of preventing radioactive materials to the outside environment for the implementation of "practical elimination of large radioactive release" by design.
