Reference no: EM13339538
For reference LWR: thermal efficiency is 33%, power 1150 MWe, 92% CF, uranium is $46/lb. U3O8, SWU is $114/kgSWU, conversion is $12/kgU, fabrication and transportation cost $295/kgU, losses in fabrication 0.12%, losses in conversion 0.1%, product enrichment of 4.95wt%, tails assay of 0.25wt%, core contains 95 tonne fuel.
Data for recycling: Price of reprocessing ($/kg used fuel)=800, Price of MOX fabrication ($/kg)=360, Price of DU ($/kg)=5, U (kg used fuel/kg fresh fuel)=0.94, S (g fPu/kg used fuel)=6.5, P (g U235equivalent/g fPu)=0.82, loss in reprocessing=0.016
Financial/economic data: nominal interest rate is 4%; cost of new build is $4500/kW installed capacity; 7 year construction time (for first new plants).
UOX fuel:
What would be the cost per kg of the fabricated UO2 fuel?
Considering the time value of money, calculate the cost of the fuel ($/kg) and the cost of the initial load of fuel to the
point it is loaded in the reactor for operation assuming you purchase in advance: uranium 24 months, conversion 20
months, enrichment 16 months, and fabrication services 10 months.
What would be the discharge burnup of the fuel if operated on 3 cycles of 18 months (numerical answer required)?
