"NUC","ST2032","The aim of the Power Plant Siting Study project is to explore the different opportunities and constraints involved in developing sites in England and Wales for new low carbon power plants. The study will considers new nuclear as well as fossil fueled power stations using carbon capture and storage technologies. The study is important to understand the different features which could either make a potential site suitable or, alternatively, prevent its viability. This study is intended to inform whether there is likely to be competition for development sites between low carbon technologies, which could be a future constraint in the low carbon replacement of the UK’s ageing power plants. It will help inform the ETI’s technology strategy development work, which is looking at how to accelerate the development of new energy technologies for a UK transition to a low carbon economy.",NUC_ST2032_1.pdf,"Request for Proposal",,,Power Plant Siting Study,Power Plant Siting Study,27/06/2014,21/11/2016,Mike Middleton,Gary Thomson,Stewart Swatton,Mike Middleton,6.1.3

",NUC_ST2033_2.pdf,"Project Summary Report","The purpose of the System Requirements for Alternative Nuclear Technologies (ANT) project is to frame the UK energy system requirements for a small generic nuclear power plant with an output up to 300MWe. In practice this means defining the broad technical and economic parameters for an SMR to be of value to the UK’s energy system in the future. This Project Summary Report presents the main findings of the ANT project. It begins with an overview of how the UK’s energy system might develop over the coming decades. It is then split into two main parts. The first describes the functional requirements work stream; the second the business case work stream. Each provides a summary of the key findings followed by an outline of the relevant tasks undertaken. Together these sections frame the UK energy system requirements for small nuclear reactors under 300MWe.",,System Requirements for Alternative Nuclear Technologies,System Requirements for Alternative Nuclear Technologies,01/08/2014,21/11/2016,Mike Middleton,Gary Thomson,Stewart Swatton,Mike Middleton,7.1.9

",NUC_ST2033_9.pdf,"Technical assessment of SMR heat extraction for district heat networks","Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMRs) are generally defined as nuclear reactors with a maximum electrical output below 300MWe. They are considered to have characteristics that are distinct from conventional large reactors and proponents claim that SMRs could offer a number of benefits to the UK’s future energy system, including the reliable provision of low-carbon electricity and heat, lower financing costs, and the opening up of additional sites closer to demand. At the present time however, there are still significant uncertainties relating to the cost, performance and deployment timetables of SMR technologies. It is concluded that SMR heat supply could be a significant benefit to both plant economics and the decarbonisation of the UK’s energy supply. The cost of designing and building SMR plants ready to supply future DH networks is relatively small, but the benefits are potentially large. This report may have relevance for organisations considering the potential deployment of SMRs into a future UK low carbon energy systems.",,System Requirements for Alternative Nuclear Technologies,System Requirements for Alternative Nuclear Technologies,01/08/2014,21/11/2016,Mike Middleton,Gary Thomson,Stewart Swatton,Mike Middleton,7.1.9
