US feasibility study for new reactors
[This study is supposed to be available but it is not :
http://www.ne.doe.gov/NucPwr2010/NP2010TVABellefonte.html ]
Under a DOE program for promoting building of new-generation nuclear plants, a $4 million feasibility study on building two ABWRs at Bellefonte in Alabama was undertaken by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) plus vendors GE and Toshiba as well as Bechtel and others. The 1350 MWe ABWR was the first Generation 3 reactor design to enter service, a number of units are operating and under construction in Japan and it already has design certification in the USA. The study showed that twin 1371 MWe ABWRs would cost $1611 per kilowatt, or if they were uprated to 1465 MWe each, $1535 /kW, and be built in 40 months.
However TVA has apparently decided not to proceed, as they would be the only ABWR units in USA.
