A design study has been made of a small "Package" nuclear power plant for the production of electric power and heat in remotely located, inaccessible areas devoid of natural fuels. The design utilizes a horizontal boiling reactor as a steam generator consistent with safe and simple equipment and a minimunn building height. A reactor design of 5-1/2 mw capacity, with a combined net electric power output of 750 kw and a heat plant output of 4500 kw^, was studied in detail. Tentative cost estimates are presented on the basis of this combination. General comparisons have been made betv/een different systems designed for either independent or combined production of 425 kw net electric power and 2500 kw available heat.
