1.1 Objective of the study
The objective of the study is to evaluate the market potential of
small size High Temperature Reactors (HTR) for cogeneration of heat
and power in France.
The reference plant considered in this evaluation is the HTR-
Module concept developed by INTERATOM-KWU in the Federal Republic of
Germany, having a unit capacity of 200 MWt (heat only), or 80 MWe
(electricity only).
Aim of the study is to determine the deployment prospects of this
new energy source in the industrial, commercial, and residential sec­
tors.
1.2 Methodology
The study is to follow the pattern defined in a previous study
performed in the FRG {Ref. [1]), as far as practically achievable in
France.
Against the background of a detailed analysis of today's situa­
tion and future trends as regards national structure of energy supply
and demand, reference scenarios are set up. This general information
forms the basis for investigation of the HTR-Module market introduc­
tion. It is determined in a step-by-step procedure which consists in
evaluating first the technical potential, then in combination with an
appraisal of competitiveness the economical potential, and eventually
after accounting for market factors the market potential is evalua­
ted.
