Feasibility study of the consolidated nuclear steam system for cogeneration of process steam and electric power for a large oil refinery

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6797201
This report evaluates the technical and economic feasibility of a two-unit (1243 MWt each) consolidated nuclear steam system (CNSS), and introduces the integrated light water reactor (ILWR) concept for the supply of process steam and electric power to a typical large oil refinery. The results of the economic analysis are compared to those of a two-unit (1170 MWt each) high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) plant, of a two-unit (1280 MWt each) conventional coal-fired plant, and of the continued operation of existing oil/natural gas fired cogeneration facilities.
