Application of an LP Model to Breeder Strategy Studies

摘要

The paper discusses the relationships between the capital cost differential (FBR--LWR) allowable for economic breeder introduction and energy demand, resource availability (through price--quantity schedule), and economic environment for a range of future projections. The ALPS linear programming reactor systems analysis code, developed by Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory, was used for economic optimizations where they were done, and where they were not it provided a useful tool to compute the discounted total system power cost over the planning horizon for a given set of reactor mix and cost parameters.
