From the publication:
SUMMARY In the helium cooled graphite moderated High Temperature Reactor, the coolant is heated to such high temperatures, that it can be used for other applications than large scale electricity generation as well. Combined heat and power production is one of them. For the last decade, this has been a growth market in the Netherlands, whereas the market for large scale electricity production stagnated. This led the Ministry of Economic Affairs to include a study on nuclear cogeneration in their Programme to Maintain Nuclear Competence (PINK), a programme for nuclear related companies and institutions to keep the national nuclear expertise on an acceptable level during the current de facto nuclear moratorium. The study, that had been given the status of pre-feasibility study, has been named INCOGEN: Inherently safe Nuclear COGENeration. Five companies and institutions have cooperated in the study. The Netherlands Energy Research Foundation ECN undertook the project coordination, and contributed to reactor core, fuel and shielding analyses. The Interfaculty Reactor Institute of the Delft University of Technology cooperated in the reactor calculations. The engineering company Stork Nucon carried out the analyses on the energy conversion system, plant lay-out, auxiliary systems, plant operation and control, and inspection and maintenance. The electric utility research organisation KEMA contributed to the cycle optimization analysis, the study on licensing of the installation and a cost study. The consultancy company ROMAWA carried out the study on the market potential, and analyzed the possible contribution of the Dutch industry in the development and construction of such systems.
