Capital cost: high and low sulfur coal plants - 1200 MWe. Volume 3

Technical Report · Sat Oct 01 04:00:00 EDT 1977

OSTI ID:6812848

The study develops and provides the total base construction cost for a 1200 MWe (nominal) high sulfur coal plant and a 1200 MWe (nominal) low sulfur coal plant. The 1200 MWe coal plant cost estimates are based on generic plant designs at a hypothetical site. The principle technical features of the plants, however, are based on several constructed plants of this size located in different sections of the country. The capital cost estimate is presented in detail in Volumes I and II for the high sulfur coal plant. This capital cost estimate was modified for the low sulfur coal plant and is printed in an abbreviated form in Volume III. This study, together with the companion study for the 800 MWe low and high sulfur plants, also represents an update of WASH-1230 Volume III published in 1972 by the Atomic Energy Commission.
