The conceptual design of a 100-MWe liquid-metal commercial tower focus power plant is described. This volume contains the appendices: (A) efficiency and cost estimates for cavity receivers, parametric analysis; (B) absorber loss calculations for parametric analysis; (C) small electromagnetic pumps for parametric analysis; (D) tower cost estimates for parametric analysis; (E) Riser/downcomer cost estimates for parametric analysis; (F) transient thermal analysis of sodium/iron storage; (G) details of field fabricated storage vessel cost estimates for parametric analysis; (H) steam generator heat balances for parametric analysis; (I) heat exchanger cost estimates for parametric analysis; (J) comparison of molten salt and sodium as secondary loop fluids; (K) parametric analysis of steam cycles; (L) materials evaluation and selection; (M) hydraulic analysis of absorber concept; (N) technique for estimating air side convection coefficient on absorber; (O) absorber loss computer program; (P) steam generator conceptual design analysis - computer program output; (Q) critique of cylindrical storage tanks; and (R) sodium component design - supplemental calculations.
