The HTGR is considered for a variety of applications to the U.S. industrial energy markets. These include a number of synfuel processes, shale oil conversion, methanol production, ammonia production, and both open and closed-loop pipeline systems. Potential market size appears to be approximately 300-400 GW (t) in the 2000 to 2020 time period. In addition to potential cost advantages, the closed-loop nuclear system has several significant advantages over alternative fossil systems. 5 refs.
