HTGR cogeneration-plant project evaluation for Intermountain Region
The Intermountain Region of the US was a logical choice for study in view of the energy intensive nature of current industrial development and, in particular, the projected development of synfuel industries within the region. In addition, there are special nuclear technology facilities and manpower resources at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) which could uniquely complement and support HTGR deployment in the region and HTGR development in general. With this background the Intermountain study was initiated with the following objectives: scope the Intermountain Region process heat and electrical requirements through year 2020; evaluate the technology, economics, and environmental consequences of displacing fossil combustion with HTGR derived energy to meet the above requirements; and project the potential HTGR commercialization scenarios supporting the above fossil combustion displacement.
