Industry data indicates that average nuclear power plant heat rate and electrical output have improved in the last decade. However, this trend appears to have leveled off while the potential for further improvement remains substantial. This document addresses issues to improve nuclear power plant heat rate and electrical output Included are discussions of the technical aspects of thermal performance, along with necessary related considerations, as well as selected casebook studies and plant procedures. The technical report is issued to further the objective of EPRI's Plant Performance Enhancement Program (P[sup 2]EP).Accordingly, it is issued in loose-leaf format so that it can be supplemented at a later date with further technology developments, casebook studies and plant procedures.
