HTGR steam-cycle program status report

The objective of the HTGR Steam Cycle Program is to implement a program leading to the commercialization of the HTGR Steam Cycle. This includes design, licensing, development, fabrication, and construction of a HTGR Steam Cycle plant that meets the utility users' needs and requirements, meets the nation's need for reliable and economical electricity generation, and is consistent with the government's non-proliferation and efficient resource utilization policies. In response to a DOE management recommendation to redirect the overall HTGR Program to advanced HTGR systems, the HTGR-SC Program planning was modified. In the near term, the primary objective of the HTGR-SC Program will be to perform work that materially supports the SC Program but which, at the same time, would be logical if future emphasis is directed to the advanced HTGR's. Top priority is the preparation of a Conceptual Design and Status Report, thus providing a basis for future design work if the HTGR-SC Program is subsequently continued
