Study on the Role of Very High Temperature Reactor and Nuclear Process Heat Utilization in Future Energy Systems. Impact Analysis of Future Energy Technologies on Long-Term Energy Supply-Demand, National Economy, and Environment

摘要

This report describes the analytical results being made in the study on the role of Very High Temperature Reactor and nuclear process heat utilization in future energy system, which is aimed at zero emission. In the former part of the report, the modeling of the reference energy system, main characteristics of energy technologies, and scenario indicators as well as system behavioral objectives for optimization are explained. In the latter part, analytical results such as the time-period variation of overall energy utilization efficiency, energy supply/demand structure in long-terms, energy contribution and economic competition of new energy technologies, environmental effluents released through various energy activities, impacts to and from national economy, and some sensitivity analyses, are reviewed.
