Nuclear Gas Turbines Small-Scale Inherently Safe, Well-Proven Nuclear Power

The paper discusses uranium as a new fuel for gas turbines used as energy conversion installations for the markets of: stand-alone heat production, combined heat and power generation, stand-alone electricity production and as prime mover on board ships. This development is a logical step in a historical trend in energy conversion. The paper discusses the availability of the fuel, uranium and the construction of the fuel which makes this combination of gas turbine and uranium suitable for the non-utility markets.Copyright © 2002 by ASME
