2 Page 2 Petten 27 – Feb. - 2013 Secondary system  optimized for demonstrating that ALFRED reactor would be able to efficiently produce electric power Important considerations and constraints: –Lead temperature never drops to alarming values –ST  182 bar; 450ºC superheated steam –Pipes dimensioning: feed water, main steam and pipes through the containment –Operational Modes: Normal Mode  Efficient electric production Partial load Mode  Partial thermal load operation By-pass Mode  Direct heat transfer through the condenser Auxiliary heating Mode  Lead heating from the secondary system 1. Scope ALFRED Secondary System

3 Page 3 Petten 27 – Feb. - 2013 Secondary system main parameters: –Steam Generators: Outlet pressure: 182 bar (180 bar at inlet of the HP turbine valve) Inlet pressure: 188 bar Outlet temperature: 450ºC Inlet temperature: 335ºC Steam flow: 192.7 Kg/s. Thermal power 300 MWth –Heat sink: Mechanical draft cooling tower Nominal: 18ºC; 60% relative humidity Extreme summertime (EUR): 37ºC; 60% relative humidity Extreme wintertime (EUR): -25ºC; 100% relative humidity –Steam turbine group inlet control: throttle control valve –Steam turbine mechanical losses: 0.25% –Deaerator elevation: 22.86 m 2. Main input data ALFRED Secondary System

Control Heater - FWTCH) Three low pressure (LP) preheaters and three high pressure (HP) preheaters Single train for the HP and LP preheaters Moisture separator (MS) is included HPT exhaust pressure of 12 bar 3.

7 Page 7 Petten 27 – Feb. - 2013 4. Secondary system feasibility study: Normal Mode Turbine configuration: –HP Turbine and a LP Turbine, with no intermediate stage (typical nuclear configuration) –HP Turbine: 180 bar to 12 bar range, with three extraction lines –Turbine power  range for medium turbines (less than 200 MW) –Axial exhaust turbine is chosen for ALFRED ALFRED Secondary System

9 Page 9 Petten 27 – Feb. - 2013 4. Secondary system feasibility study: Partial Load Mode Throttle control valve  System is able to lower the load without lowering too much the pressure of the temperature Performance decreases as the load decreases FWTC Heater Valve maintain the feed water temperature (335ºC) ALFRED Secondary System

10 Page 10 Petten 27 – Feb. - 2013 Only liquid water is not feasible System with only steam is proposed: –Lead temperature: 380ºC – 400ºC –Steam temperature: 400ºC – 450ºC –Optimum SG inlet pressure?  30 bar 4. Secondary system feasibility study: Auxiliary Heating Mode ALFRED Secondary System
