Abstract

A procedure is presented for estimating annual nonfuel operating and maintenance costs for large steam-electric power plants--LWR, HTGR, LMFBR, and fossil (coal, oil and gas). Cost estimates for fossil plants include the option of limestone slurry scrubbing for flue gas desulfurization. A computer program, OMCST, based on this procedure is also presented.
