Title: High-temperature gas-cooled reactor steam cycle/cogeneration application study

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6617572· OSTI ID:6617572

This HTGR-SC/C Application Study documents the effort to evaluate the appropriateness of the HTGR-SC/C as the Lead Project. The scope of this effort includes the evaluation of the HTGR-SC/C technology, the evaluation of potential HTGR-SC/C markets, the assessment of the economics of commercial HTGR-SC/C plants, and the evaluation of the program and expenditures necessary to establish HTGR-SC/C technology through the completion of the Lead Project. Further, the value of the HTGR-SC/C Lead Project in the support of advanced applications such as the HTGR-R is also addressed. The HTGR-SC/C was considered as a Lead Project candidate in two configurations: a 2240-MW(t) baseload electric plant and an 1170-MW(t) cogeneration plant that provides electricity and process steam.
