“…A standard accounts for cost estimates of fusion reactor and power plant was developed by Shulte et al [19] to assess the direct cost and indirect cost. Dragojlovic et al [17] provides relative feasible costing models to calculate the main cost accounts, which are scaled by the reactor powers, level of safety assurance, and the cost of component of reactor (C x ).…”

Full superconducting tokamak and water-cooling Cu magnets tokamak are two options proposed for China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR). Based on the concept design, the total construction cost was assessed with System Analysis Program for Parameters Optimization and Economic Assessment of Fusion Reactor, and the economy of the two options was compared with considering the cost of electricity consumption in D-T burning operation stage. The total of both costs and D-T burning operation time for different material neutron radiation damage of the two options were also analyzed. The results showed that the two options would have different economic advantages in construction and operation, and that the Cu magnets tokamak option could save both time and cost if the required material neutron radiation damage of CFETR is \75 dpa.

“…The interest during construction is based on a constant dollar analysis (i.e., no escala tion) using an 8-year construction period and a 5% real cost of money. 127 The cost of electricity (COE) is equal to the total annual costs divided by the annual energy production. It is given by COE K(TCC) + /(TDC + TIC) 8760Pa $/kW e h…”

The High-Yield Lithium-Injection Fusion Energy (HYLIFE) concept to convert inertial confinement fusion energy into electric power has undergone intensive research and refinement at LLNL since 1978. This paper reports on the final HYLIFE design, focusing on five major areas: the HYLIFE reaction chamber (which includes neutronics, liquidmetal jet-array hydrodynamics, and structural design), supporting systems, primary steam system and balance of plant, safety and environmental protection, and costs. An annotated bibliography of reports applicable to HYLIFE is also provided. We conclude that HYLIFE is a particularly viable concept for the safe, clean produc tion of electrical energy. The liquid-metal jet array, HYLIFE's key design feature, protects the surrounding structural components from x rays, fusion fuel-pellet debris, neutron damage and activation, and high temperatures and stresses, allowing the structure to last for the plant's entire 30-year lifetime without being replaced.

“…Indirect accounting methods are less uniform than direct accounting methods and vary significantly among cost estimates. The indirect accounting method used in this section is taken from Fusion Reactor Qesign Studies -Standar1 Accounts for Cost Estimates (Schulte, Willke and Young, 1978). These also are based on the NUS document.…”

PNL-3277 UC-97 PNL's assessment consists of two parts. The first part, which is the subject of this document, is a detailed description of the technical, cost, resource and environmental characteristics of each system component and technologies available for these components. The second part is a computer-based model that PNL has developed to simulate construction and operation of alternative system configurations and to compare the performance of these systems under a variety of economic and technical conditions. This document consists of six chapters and two appendices. A more thorough description of coal-based electric energ~ systems is presented in the Introduction and Chapter 1. Each of the subsequent chapters descrihes technologies for five system components: Western coal resources (Chapter 2), coal vii transportation (Chapter 3), coal gasification and gas transmission (Chapter 4),
