It seems to me that many people here have a doubt of using ACP-100 and ACP-50 to gauge Chinese military reactors. I have read from many sources that these SMRs are firstly developed as military reactors then converted to civilian purpose. So when we see ACP-50, it is certain that there is a military version already years ago which has either been put in a submarine or going to be installed in a submarine soon.
In terms of SMR, they are developed in similar path as "ICBM -> satellite launcher". When we see CZ-2,3,4, DF has been flying for years.
Particularly about ACP-50, it is a further development from military program. I can not find the source specifically about the claim of ACP-50 now although I have see it, but I have an article here stating the general development path of these SMRs. The article is from 中国核能行业协会 and 上海市核电办公室. Nuclear Energy Association of China and Shanghai Nuclear Power Agent. It lays out the policy for Shanghai utilizing SMRs.
In the article it states, SMR was initially used in military, its "Military to Civilian" transformation is driven by US and Russia (USSR).
1.2技术起源
小型堆最初应用于军事应用领域,可用于保障军事基地能源供给安全、建造核动力舰艇等方面,是典型的军民融合技术。美、俄等核大国基于小型堆技术建造的核潜艇、核航母与核巡洋舰,具有航速快、巡航时间长等其他能源不可替代优势。目前,国际上所有在役核潜艇、核航母和核巡洋舰共装载超过200 台小型堆。在美、俄等国带动下,基于“
军转民”的小型堆逐渐推广应用于电力、船舶等民用领域。国际上主要核能国家都在研发自主小型堆技术或考虑利用小型堆。
Regarding the fuel enrichment, it should not be a concern either. Because all these SMRs (US, Russia and China at least) are firstly military reactors, by the time their civilian versions come to the market, they have been running in subs. The needed enrichment level is already there whatever level that is.
