Electric Power Research Institute: Build-to-Replace: A New Paradigm for Reducing Advanced Reactor O&M Costs - $999,464. EPRI’s approach is similar to that adopted by the commercial airline industry, in which multiple refurbishments—including engine replacement—can keep a jet aircraft flying economically over many decades.

Molten salt nuclear reactors (MSRs) fit the bill—and, according to at least one source , China may be well on their way to developing MSR technology. Government researchers there unveiled a design for a commercial molten salt reactor (MSR) that uses. Live Science , the Chinese government plans to build several large MSRs.

As utilities have begun retiring older plants, however, comparatively high costs have made it difficult to justify building new nuclear power plants. In the building phase, cost savings may be realized through modular and advanced manufacturing techniques that bring most of the work to the factory instead to the construction site.

Researchers are considering three different types: a lead-cooled fast reactor, a uranium-fueled, helium-gas-cooled reactor, and a molten-salt-cooled reactor, shown here [below, at bottom]. Engines in ordinary ships are the size of houses,” says Emblemsvåg, who is leading NuProShip. One is a thorium-fueled molten-salt reactor.
