Towards standardized nuclear reactors: Seismic isolation and the cost impact of the earthquake load case

Kaivalya M. Lal et al.

Summary: Nuclear energy is crucial for global decarbonization, but the high capital and time costs associated with designing and constructing nuclear power plants hinder their widespread deployment. The seismic load case is a significant cost driver in plant design, and seismic base isolation could greatly reduce earthquake response. However, its financial impact is still unknown, making it difficult to quantify the benefits of seismic isolation. This study shows that seismic isolation can significantly reduce the capital cost of safety-related equipment, especially with standardized equipment.

Seismic isolation: A pathway to standardized advanced nuclear reactors

Sai Sharath Parsi et al.

Summary: Standardizing advanced nuclear reactors is crucial for cost reduction and achieving parity with other power sources. This study demonstrates the use of seismic isolation to enable standardized designs for molten salt and high temperature gas reactors. The analysis shows that seismic base isolation allows for construction in higher seismic hazard areas and reduces engineering and licensing time.
