8 HTGR deployment in Poland Government on 14 February 2017 published Responsible Development Strategy. - the governmental plan for Polish economy grow List of energy actions contains: Preparation of HTR deployment for industrial heat production in cogeneration, using industrial & scientific potential of Poland. Support for Polish R&D on materials for gen.iv reactors. 8

9 HTGR deployment in Poland Minister of Energy appointed Committee for deployment of high temperature reactors. Chairman: G.Wrochna 9 Terms of reference: Analysis of Polish economy needs & export potential Inventory of relevant design & manufacturing capabilities of Polish science & industry Cost estimate, business model, funding possibilities Analysis of legal framework Establishing international cooperation Members from: Nuclear R&D: National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) Engineering: Energoprojekt, Prochem End-users: Azoty, Orlen, Enea, Tauron, KGHM Associates: PAA (regulator), NCBR (R&D funding agency), PKO BP (bank)

10 15 January 2018 Polish Ministry of Energy published the report of HTR Committee Full report in Polish and Executive Summary in English: 10

11 European High Temperature Experimental Reactor (EHTER) ~10 MW th experimental HTGR at NCBJ Experiments and measurements supporting licensing of HTGR >100 MW th Validation of computational & simulation codes Tests of materials and components Gaining experience by NCBJ, PAA (regulator) Preparing and testing supply chain Training young generation Possibly funded from EU structural funds 11 U-Battery is one of possible candidates 11

12 Feedback from industry Several sites use ~500 C steam networks Need to exchange old boilers with HTGR Electric island already there HTGR parameters matching standard boilers: 540 C, 13.4 MPa, 165 MW th, 230 t/h 12

13 Cost estimate 1$ 3.5 PLN PLN The cost of design and general license: ~ 500 million PLN It virtually does not depend on the reactor power The construction cost was calculated by scaling the costs of larger models down to 165 MW th : Oryginal power [MW th ] Type prismatic block pebbled Cost 165 MW th [M PLN] Reducing the power may enable breaking technological barriers and result in lower cost, e.g. a tank made entirely in a steel mill by rolling A middle option, close to PLN 2000 million, was adopted for economic analyzes The dispersion of PLN 600 million is a measure of the uncertainty of estimation The construction cost includes 10% of the design cost 13

14 Coal, gas & HTGR economy 14 Coal & gas boilers compared to HTGR 165 MW th, 230 t/h of steam 540 C, 13.8 MPa. Current fuel prices. 30/60 years boiler/htgr lifetime. For HTGR: 15 idle days/year, 80% of power used. Design cost covered by the first 10 HTGR s. Largest uncertainties: discount rate, CO 2 cost, coal & gas price & availability.
