Cost Study of a 100-Mw(e) Direct-Cycle Boiling Water Reactor Plant (open access)

Cost Study of a 100-Mw(e) Direct-Cycle Boiling Water Reactor Plant

Report issued by the Argonne national Laboratory discussing a technical and economic evaluation of a direct-cycle light-water boiling reactor designed for natural circulation and internal steam-water separation. The reference 100-Mw(e) reactor power plant design evolved from the study should have the best chance (compared to similar plants) of approaching the 8 to 9 mill/kwh total power-cost level. This report includes tables, and illustrations.
