Title: Next Generation Nuclear Plant Project 2009 Status Report

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/981867· OSTI ID:981867

The mission of the NGNP Project is to broaden the environmental and economic benefits of nuclear energy technology to the United States and other economies by demonstrating its applicability to market sectors not served by light water reactors (LWRs). Those markets typically use fossil fuels to fulfill their energy needs, and high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) like the NGNP can reduce this dependence and the resulting carbon footprint.
