Reactor Plant Cost Reduction to Compete with Natural Gas Fired Electrical Generation 

Examines ways to reduce reactor plant construction and maintenance costs through (a) elimination of Loss of Coolant Accidents (LOCAs), (b) the use of an embedded (below grade) design and construction and (c) the use of pooled off-site resources that can be applied simultaneously at multiple sites.
