5 Why Do I Need a Cost Basis? Alternative Comparisons Systems analyses are used to compare alternatives Option 1 Option 2 Decision Point September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 5

6 Why Do I Need a Cost Basis? Consistent Comparisons Compare the alternatives consistently Option 1 Option 2 Decision Point September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 6

7 Why Do I Need a Cost Basis? Conclusion The alternative comparisons must be on a level playing field Common assumptions Common methods When I want to know what something that does not yet exist costs, I can ask: Proponents Very affordable! Opponents Too expensive! The Advanced Fuel Cycle Cost Basis fills the knowledge gap for advanced nuclear systems Provide a range of cost estimates that are both defensible and useful September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 7

8 History of the Advanced Fuel Cycle Cost Basis Economics Working Group initiated in 2003 by United States Department of Energy Tasked with assessing the projected costs of new (advanced) fuel cycles for Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative Original group membership was drawn from DOE labs and facilities The Working Group Recognized that system life cycle costs were functions of component costs Began the preparation of an economic data base for the components of the fuel cycle Emphasis on the unit costs ($/kg, $/SWU, $/MTHM, etc.) September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 8

9 Description of the Cost Basis Introduction Collection of Modules Each module is relevant to a specific fuel cycle component For example, Module A series deals with mining A1 is uranium A2 is thorium Module R series deals with reactors R1 is LWRs R2 is Fast Reactors R3 is HTGRs Etc. September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 9

10 Description of the Cost Basis Module Map September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 10

11 Description of the Cost Basis Data Data sources: Public reports Trade press Other fuel cycle studies Discussions with private industry DOE-generated cost estimates September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 11

12 Description of the Cost Basis Module Information Data included in each module: Comprehensive description Process diagrams Historical information Technical maturity assessment Interface with other fuel cycle components Existing data Discussion of data limitations Unit cost distribution Large caveat Unit cost distribution assumes steady-state, Nth-of-a-kind deployment Unit cost distribution does not account for First-of-a-kind Keep in mind in a few slides September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 12

13 Description of the Cost Basis Cost Distributions Unit cost distributions are defined by: High (Max) Low (Min) Nominal (Mode) The Cost Basis uses triangular and uniform distributions Analytical method samples from the distributions to generate a final levelized cost distribution Example distributions shown in backup slides September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 13

14 Current Work The last revision was published in December 2009 Work began on an update in 2012 Completed in 2013 Available soon! The 2012 update was created as an addendum, rather than a complete new revision Include new data sources and references Update costs from 2009$ to 2012$ Add new fuel types Add new reactor/transmuter types September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 14

17 Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle Applications Reactor Cost The capital cost is obviously the big item of interest 2009 $/kwe (low / nominal / high) Fast reactor capital 3000 / 4200 / 7000 LWR capital 2300 / 3500 / 5000 September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 17

18 Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle Applications Reactor Cost The capital cost is obviously the big item of interest 2009 $/kwe (mean / median / mode) Fast reactor capital 4733 / 4633 / 4200 LWR capital 3600 / 3577 / 3500 September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 18

19 Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle Applications Reactor Cost Distributions SFRs are shifted and right-skewed compared to LWRs more uncertain p(x) September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 19

20 Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle Applications Cumulative Reactor Cost Distributions The cumulative distributions show the effect of the higher tails P(x) September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 20

21 Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle Applications Limitation This differential reflects the expected Nth-of-a-kind cost, not the First-of-a-kind cost! This is an inherent limitation of the Advanced Fuel Cycle Cost Basis How are these cost estimates used? September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 21

22 Sample Fuel Cycle Cost Estimate Analysis Methodology Step 1 Calculate unit flow requirements, such as mass flows, for each step Typically requires multiple physics-based calculations, especially for scenarios with reprocessing Step 2 Balance the mass flows for the total system especially important for multi-tiered systems Step 3 Multiply all balanced units by the unit cost Step 4 Sum the costs Step 5 Divide by power September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 22

23 Sample Fuel Cycle Cost Estimate Analysis Methodology Engines Number of ways to do the calculation ~ number of analysts doing the calculation Official calculation engine of Generation IV International Forum (GIF) is G4-ECONS Maintained at Oak Ridge National Laboratory Specifically created for Gen-IV systems, such as SFRs September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 23

24 Sample Fuel Cycle Cost Estimate Analysis Methodology Methodology implemented in G4-ECONS September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 24

25 Sample Fuel Cycle Cost Estimate Results A series of potential Pu-recycle schemes exist For example, compare PWR OT: Once-through low-enriched uranium light-water reactor PWR CR: Continuous recycle of the Pu in an LWR with enriched uranium support SFR CR: A self-sustaining Pu-recycling fast reactor The Cost Basis allows us to compare them on a consistent basis and look for the major cost driver and potential differences (additions or savings) in cost between alternatives All analyses performed using G4-ECONS and the 2009 Cost Basis September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 25

36 Sample Fuel Cycle Cost Estimate Results Back-End Fuel Cost Range Plot shows Min, Mode, Mean, and Max September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 36

37 Sample Fuel Cycle Cost Estimate Results Conclusions Result conclusions SFR systems: Have larger expected costs due to the larger expected SFR capital cost Decrease the expected costs on the fuel front end, due to better resource utilization and reduced reliance on enrichment The capital cost and fuel front end costs roughly balance, making the SFR continuous recycle competitive with the LWR continuous recycle Compare favorably with LWR systems for O&M and the fuel back-end One more conclusion nuclear systems in general: Show large uncertainties in potential cost, mostly due to uncertainties in the capital cost September 2013 Fast Reactor Economics 37
