DESIGN EVALUATION AND COMPARISON 200 MWe BOILING D$sub 2$O PRESSURE TUBE INDIRECT AND DIRECT CYCLE POWER REACTOR PLANTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4041703

The engineering and economics of 200-Mwe D/sub 2/Omoderated power reactor plants were evaluated for both direct and indirect cycles with boiling D/ sub 2/O-cooled pressure tube reactors. Comparison of the cost estimates indicates that the reduction in cost due to smaller D/sub 2/O inventory in the turbine plant in the indirect cycle does not offset the additional cost of the steam generators and preheaters. The cost difference of 0.1 mill/kwh power between the two cycles indicates that the two cycles are essentially economically equivalent. (D.L.C.)
