Abstract

In summary, this preliminary WBS serves as an initial basis for the capital cost component of the economic analysis of SMRs. This preliminary WBS comes from the known WBS for existing, large nuclear power plants and develops the methodology for accounting for the anticipated differences between the current large plants and the projected SMR designs.

Techno-Economic Assessment of the Factory Production of Small Modular Reactor

Journal Article Vegel, Benjamin; Quinn, Jason - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

The demand for electricity continues to grow around the world while pressures remain high to reduce carbon emissions. Nuclear energy provides a strong and reliable baseload power component without a high output of greenhouse gases. Global nuclear energy capacity is increasing with 62 reactors under construction in 14 countries. Nuclear energy will be crucial as energy demands are met with a sustainable and diverse energy portfolio. Small modular reactors (SMRs) are small scale (less than 300 MWe) reactors that incorporate the same advanced technologies included in recent LR nuclear reactor designs. SMRs are designed to include the latest reactor technologymore »« less
Safeguards and Security by Design (SSBD) for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) through a Common Global Approach

Conference Badwan, Faris; Demuth, Scott; Miller, Michael; ...

Small Modular Reactors (SMR) with power levels significantly less than the currently standard 1000 to 1600-MWe reactors have been proposed as a potential game changer for future nuclear power. SMRs may offer a simpler, more standardized, and safer modular design by using factory built and easily transportable components. Additionally, SMRs may be more easily built and operated in isolated locations, and may require smaller initial capital investment and shorter construction times. Because many SMRs designs are still conceptual and consequently not yet fixed, designers have a unique opportunity to incorporate updated design basis threats, emergency preparedness requirements, and then fullymore »« less

Development of the Mathematics of Learning Curve Models for Evaluating Small Modular Reactor Economics

Technical Report Harrison, T.

The cost of nuclear power is a straightforward yet complicated topic. It is straightforward in that the cost of nuclear power is a function of the cost to build the nuclear power plant, the cost to operate and maintain it, and the cost to provide fuel for it. It is complicated in that some of those costs are not necessarily known, introducing uncertainty into the analysis. For large light water reactor (LWR)-based nuclear power plants, the uncertainty is mainly contained within the cost of construction. The typical costs of operations and maintenance (O&M), as well as fuel, are well knownmore »« less

Advanced Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Demonstration

Technical Report Smith, Curtis; Prescott, Steven; Koonce, Tony

A key area of the Advanced Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) strategy is the development of methodologies and tools that will be used to predict the safety, security, safeguards, performance, and deployment viability of SMRs. The goal of the SMR PRA activity will be to develop quantitative methods and tools and the associated analysis framework for assessing a variety of risks. Development and implementation of SMR-focused safety assessment methods may require new analytic methods or adaptation of traditional methods to the advanced design and operational features of SMRs. We will need to move beyond the current limitationsmore »« less

Assessing I²S-LWR economic competitiveness using systematic differential capital cost evaluation methodology

Journal Article Maronati, G.; Petrovic, B.; Ferroni, P. - Annals of Nuclear Energy

One of the major factors impeding nuclear power plant (NPP) construction is their economics. In this study, a systematic differential economics evaluation approach was developed through the use of the Code of Accounts guidelines to assess the costs of nuclear power plants. The methodology, entirely based on publicly available data, may serve as a template to evaluate direct costs for reactors of any size and design at any stage of developments. In particular, this approach was used to assess the costs of the Integral Inherently Safe Light Water Reactor (I²S-LWR). The I²S-LWR is a design concept of a large (~1000more »« less
