1 Expanding Nuclear Energy Beyond Base-load Electricity: Challenges and Opportunities Daniel Ingersoll February 6, 2014 Frontiers in Sustainable Fuels and Chemicals: What s Beyond the Horizon? 2014 NuScale Power, LLC
2 Why all of the above U.S. CO 2 Emissions (Tg) Electricity For nuclear energy: 1. Reach more utility customers 2. Reach more non-electric energy consumers Transportation Industrial Residential Commercial Misc 2050 Goal 2
3 Nuclear Energy Development Timeline Generation I Early Prototype Reactors - Shippingport - Dresden, Fermi I - Magnox Generation II Commercial Power Reactors - LWR-PWR, BWR - CANDU - VVER/RBMK Generation III Advanced LWRs - ABWR - System AP600 - EPR Generation III+ Evolutionary Designs Offering Improved Economics -AP1000 -ESBWR Generation IV - Highly Economical - Enhanced Safety - Minimal Waste - Proliferation Resistant Gen I Gen II Gen III Gen III+ Gen IV You are here 1 st Nuclear Era 2 nd Nuclear Era? 3
4 1 st Nuclear Era: large base-load electricity Generation II U.S. plant construction during the first nuclear era Generation I 4
5 Moving beyond Gen II Demanding more stringent performance goals Safety Economics Sustainability Proliferation Risk Expanding nuclear energy to new applications High-temperature reactors for process heat Fast spectrum reactors for resource extension and waste management Small reactors for diverse and distributed customers 5
6 Why high-temperature reactors? 6
7 Why fast reactors? Spent nuclear fuel can be separated into useable and waste materials Residual waste will go to a geological repository Useable components can be recycled in thermal reactors, then in fast reactors Fast reactors can also breed new fuel and burn waste LWR Recycle ABR Recycle 7
8 Why small modular reactors? Safety Smaller decay heat Easier to remove decay heat Smaller radionuclide inventory Lower overall risk Affordability Smaller up-front cost Lower debt profile & financing costs Incremental capacity additions Flexibility Better match to local power needs Incremental capacity for regions with low growth rate Adaptable to non-electric applications Match to retiring coal plants Stabilize wind/solar variability U.S. Coal Plants Plants >50 yr old have capacities Less than 300 MWe 8
9 SMR example: NuScale Building on vast LWR experience Innovations in design and engineering Incorporating integral system design with natural circulation cooling Eliminates several major accident scenarios Design simplicity also simplifies emergency response Eliminates the need for post-accident power or operator response Operating under water and under ground Assured access to ultimate heat sink for long term cooling Enhanced protection and security Nonproprietary 2013 NuScale Power, LLC T
10 NuScale plant basics Module Crane NuScale Power Module Containment Vessel Reactor Vessel Pressurizer Steam Generator Hot Riser Reactor Pool Refueling Pool Spent Fuel Storage Pool Reactor Building Reactor Core Nonproprietary 2013 NuScale Power, LLC T
11 Load following vs load switching Integrate continuous (nuclear) with variable (wind/solar) generators Couple to one or more non-electrical product streams Optimize on capital investment, fuel costs, and product costs Source: Idaho National Laboratory 11
12 Why NuScale for NHES? Scalable in small power increments Low initial commitment and cost Easily expandable as HES grows High reliability and continuous power output Flexible for multi-product outputs Co-generation of individual modules Whole-module dedication to different products Strong basis for significantly reduced emergency planning zone (EPZ) Low frequency of core damage Additional features to reduce radionuclide release Lower risk factors simplify co-location with industrial plant Nonproprietary 2013 NuScale Power, LLC T
13 New reactor challenges Technical challenges: New materials and fuels (hi-temp and fast reactors) Fuel reprocessing technologies (fast reactors) New sensors, instrumentation and controls Validating design and engineering innovations (SMRs) Institutional challenges: Community mindset for large, centralized plants Traditional focus of regulator on large LWR plants Customer/investor fear of first-of-a-kind Cheap natural gas and lack of national carbon policy 13
14 Expanding nuclear energy We need to pursue all clean energy technologies to meet our national GHG goals Nuclear power should be a central part of our energy future Nuclear energy can integrate with other sources and applications New reactor technologies and designs are needed to meet the diverse energy needs of the country 14
