[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by carnej1 I wonder how the SRC process compares in fuel cost per kilowatt with Natural Gas(which as everyone here in the Northeast with gas heat is all too aware off, continues to increase in price)? I imagine that this involves some speculation as the process doesn't sound like it's in large enough usage currently to be economically viable. Another thought, could a gas producer firebox be designed to burn this and provide producer gas for use in a modified diesel or gas turbine? Would this be cost competitive with Diesel fuel for transportation(i.e railroad locomotive) usage? I imagine it wouldn't be TIER 2 compliant................................ [/quote]The processes are similar, especially when a MHTGCR (Modular High Temprature Gas Cooled Reactor) is involved. Helium being inert is an excellent cooling element, non coorosive and heat friendly. The Germans had the first ones and the Greens got shut down. Gas prices are like the stock market and fluxuate, nuclear has an advantage of being simi-cost specific in its operation, thus a savings in the area of controlable costs.
