Work on the computer program for the economic optimization of D/sub 2/O moderated power reactors, which is being done in conjunction with du Pont, is continuing. Complete operating and cost data characterizing all the 300 Mw(e) turbine plants are presented. The design and cost equations for the 300 Mw(e) liquid D/sub 2/O, boiling D/sub 2/O and organic cooled reactor plants are also discussed. Turbine cycle efficiency curves as a function of final feed water temperature are presented for all the H/sub 2/O, 500 and 1000 Mw(e) turbine plants. Major mechanical equipment sizes for these turbine plants have been established and work is continuing with the preparation of general arrangement drawings and the compilation of cost data. The design and cost equations for 300 Mw(e) liquid D/sub 2/O, boiling D/sub 2/O, and organic cooled reactor plant auxiliaries and structures are being reviewed to determine any revisions necessary for extending their use to the plants of 500 and 1000 Mw(e). Work on the fog and gas cooled reactor plants has not yet been initiated. (D.L.C.)
