The main directions of development of small-scale energy generation are shown and a list of developed small-scale energy projects (SNPP) is given. The main results of work performed in 2019–2020 on the conceptual design of SNPP based on a developed reactor installation are presented. The key directions of modernization of a prototype reactor installation are indicated, and a plant concept and individual design solutions are described. The planning and architectural solutions for the main building and the site of the nuclear power plant as a whole are presented. A preliminary assessment of the technical and economic metrics of the object being created has been made. The possibility and feasibility of modernizing the SHELF installation in order to increase the commercial attractiveness of the project are shown.
