Next Generation Nuclear Plant
A Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) is a specific proposed generation IV reactor, generation IV very-high-temperature reactor (VHTR) that could be coupled to a neighboring hydrogen production facility. It could also produce electricity and supply process heat. Up to 30% of this heat could be used to produce hydrogen via high-temperature electrolysis significantly reducing the cost of the process. The envisioned reactor design is helium-cooled, using graphite-moderated thermal neutrons, and Nuclear fuel, TRISO fueled. The design was developed as a U.S. project from 2005 to 2011, but did not proceed to a detailed design or licensing. Next Generation Nuclear Plant Project implementation The NGNP, as a nuclear power facility design, is closely coupled with the United States Department of Energy (DOE) Next Generation Nuclear Plant Project (NGNP Project). The NGNP Project included participation by the DOE, Idaho National Laboratory, and the commercial utilities and reactor designers ...
