Summary
South Korea and China have nuclear electricity costs of 3.5 cents per kwh and construction costs of about $2000 per kilowatt.A 400-megawatt nuclear heating reactor can generate as much heat per year as the burning of 320,000 tons of coal or 160 million cubic meters of natural gas, and Yanlong releases no carbon dioxide or dust into the air. Yanlong, if used as an alternative to coal-fired or gas-fired boilers of the same supply capacity, will reduce emissions of carbon dioxide by 640,000 tons or 204,600 tons per year.To produce a gigajoule of heat with a DHR-400 costs just 30-40 yuan ($4.58-6.1), on par with traditional coal-fired boilers, and around 40 percent of the cost to produce the same amount using a gas-fired boiler.Each of China’s three major nuclear reactor construction companies (CNNC, CGN and SPIC) have announced concepts for low-temperature district heating reactors.
