There are a number of small nuclear unit concepts under active study. These include the Process Inherent Ultimate Safety (PIUS) unit and a smaller version of the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR). This study has focused on the Consolidated Nuclear Steam System (CNSS) plant concept. Studies performed by The Babcock and Wilcox Company (B and W) and United Engineers and Constructors (UE and C) starting in 1974 have led to a 400 MW PWR CNSS plant concept of compact design. Recent economic studies for the CNSS plant show that it offers economic advantages for electric power generation in certain situations. This executive summary presents the results of these studies.
