Nuclear-Conventional Power Plant Cost Study. Conventional Coal Fired Power Plants : 25,000 KW to 325,000 KW for Argonne National Laboratory, Lemont, Illinois

Description: In order to establish a basis for comparing the estimated cost of nuclear power plant designs, a set of general and detailed design considerations for conventional coal-fired power plants was established. Five preliminary designs of conventional coal-fired power plants ranging in size from 25to 325 mw were selected, and cost estimates were prepared. ( A.C.)

Cost of Containment Features for Boiling Water Reactors for Argonne National Laboratory

Description: An analysis of the cost of containment features for nuclear power plants utilizing boiling water reactors was made. The two plants chosen for comparison were the Experimental Boiling Water Reactor at ANL and a hypothetical large scale nuclear power plant with an electrical capacity of 180 Mw. In order that a cost analysis could be made for the plant designs general arrangement drawings were prepared for each of the alternate arrangements considered.
