Thermal Cycle Efficiency
MSRs remove moisture and superheat the steam, thus avoiding erosion corrosion and droplet impingement erosion in the low pressure turbines. Our solutions provide:
-
Efficiency - As an integral part of the turbine generator package, the MSR configuration and technical parameters are designed for increased power output.
-
Adaptability - Can be adapted to all existing reactor outputs up to 1,900 MWe and can meet a wide range of sizes, arrangements and system design requirements.
-
Reliability - Its extensive installed base (200 units in operation) demonstrates 40 years of excellent operation. First-generation MSRs are still in operation today.
-
Availability - Increases the availability of power generation, thanks to its track record of high reliability and reduced maintenance. It also offers quick-start operation
