GAS COOLED POWER REACTOR SITE FEASIBILITY SAVANNAH RIVER PROJECT AIKEN, SOUTH CAROLINA 30,000 KW PROTOTYPE PARTIALLY ENRICHED* URANIUM NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

摘要

This report is a feasibility study and cost estimate for a prototype partially enriched uranium fueled, helium cooled, nuclear power plant modified from an existing Title I design and adapted to a site at the Savannah River Project, Aiken, South Carolina. The Title I design of the prototype PEGCPR plant was developed for a site at the National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho, and is described in AEC Report No. IDO-24027.nAdaptation of the Title I design to the Savannah River Project site consists primarily of modifications in the design of the buildings, structures, utilities and service facilities. The basic design parameters of the reactor and steam power plant are essentially unchanged except for minor variations in the design of the steam power plant as a result of site conditions. The plant is designed as a nominal 30 mwe prototype PEGCPR with output of 30.2 mwe (gross electrical), 24.9 mwe (net electrical) and a net plant efficiency of 29.5$. The estimated cost of the prototype PEGCPR on this site is $28,100,000.
