Hot dry rock venture risks investigation:

This study assesses a promising resource in central Utah as the potential site of a future commerical hot dry rock (HDR) facility for generating electricity. The results indicate that, if the HDR reservoir productivity equals expectations based on preliminary results from research projects to date, a 50 MWe HDR power facility at Roosevelt Hot Springs could generate power at cost competitive with coal-fired plants. However, it is imperative that the assumed productivity be demonstrated before fu… more

Tandem mirror hybrid reactor study (LLL Purchase Order 3323609 dated October 20, 1978)

In any nuclear power plant, reactor design and performance are the major determining and driving factors of the plant economic and technical viability. However, the balance-of-plant (BOP) - which includes heat transport and energy conversion systems, plant auxiliary systems, plant electrical system, and structures and facilities - has a major effect on the plant economics. In fact, the BOP can account for as much as 70 to 85 percent of the total plant capital cost and therefore will have a sign… more
