An analysis of high-temperature nuclear reactor coupled with gas turbine combined cycle

At present many companies from the energy sector have to follow new regulations and concerns three crucial aspects of energy production: the impact on the environment, the efficiency of energy conversion and the cost of energy. From a technical point of view, the most efficient technology available...

In the present paper, an analysis of environmentally friendly, high-temperature gas nuclear reactor system coupled with gas turbine combined cycle technology has been investigated.
