Abstract :
A series of nuclear plant economic studies, based on closed-cycle water-cooled plants from 600 to 1,000 Mw, reveals the practicability of nuclear installations in areas of moderately high fossil-fuel costs. The studies were made by the technique of system simulation on a large digital computer. This technique is well documented in the literature1–3
