The Study of Main Component of the High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor Balance of Plant using Local Component

Abstract

Abstract National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN) as a research and development institution related to nuclear energy has designing Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) as one of the solutions to meet energy needs in Indonesia. This alternative electric power plant can be used as back up of fossil base power plant and maintaining the basic load of electric consumption. This research purpose is to simulate the balance of plant of the designed NPP and comparing the main component need to be produce by local industry. The simulation was created using Chemcad software to describe the process and component analysis of the NPP. The simulations done also can be increase the economic efficiency. Simulation results show the component data which can be used as a reference for the selection of the main components and pipes would be used in the construction of the reactor. The simulation results data of this simulation also can be uses to decide the local component that can apply in future NPP.
