A Further Evaluation of the Calder Hall Type of Nuclear Power Plant
- North American Aviation, Inc., Canoga Park, CA (United States). Atomics International Div.
This report presents the results of plant optimization studies and cost estimates of the reference design for a natural uranium, graphite moderated, gas-cooled reactor and power plant which was described in NAA-SR-1833. Additional engineering drawings are included, some of which were required because of changes in turbine plant and others for estimating purposes. A construction cost estimate of $70 million for a 165 MWE plant is presented in detail, leading to power costs of approximately 14 mils/kwh, assuming private utility operation in the United States.
