“…Notwithstanding the differences in the method of energy generation, the way in which desalination can be achieved between fusion and fission technologies is similar, see below. In 2015, 9 fission desalination projects existed worldwide that were either in planning or operational [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. The IAEA has linked interest in SMRs for desalination to advantages such as higher economic viability, smaller reactor size (less space required), and smaller construction times (leading to reduced costs) [66].…”

The commercialisation of fusion for the energy market: a review of socio-economic studies

Progress in the development of fusion energy has gained momentum in recent years. However questions remain across key subject areas that will affect the path to commercial fusion energy. The purpose of this review is to expose socio-economic areas that need further research, and from this assist in making recommendations to the fusion community, (and policy makers and regulators) in order to redirect and orient fusion for commercialisation: When commercialised, what form does it take? Where does it fit into a future energy system? Compared to other technologies, how much will fusion cost? Why do it? When is it likely that fusion reaches commercialisation? Investigations that have sought to answer these questions carry looming uncertainty, mainly stemming from the technoeconomics of emerging fusion technology in the private-sector, and due to the potential for applications outside of electricity generation coming into consideration. Such topics covered include hydrogen, desalination, and process-heat applications.

Nuclear desalination: A state-of-the-art review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Thermal desalination is an energy intensive process that satisfies its requirement from conventional fossil fuel sources. Current research efforts aim at finding alternatives for fossil fuels to power thermal desalination. Nuclear energy offers a feasible option for power cogeneration and production of fresh water due to the significant amount of recovered useful heat. The heat is exploited to produce steam and generate electricity on-site to power thermal and membrane desalination facilities. Large or small/medium nuclear reactors (SMR) can be used. This paper reviews the various aspects of nuclear desalination, the different nuclear reactors that have been coupled with desalination processes, and the hybrid desalination systems coupled with nuclear reactors. It also discusses the safety and public acceptance for the nuclear desalination practices as well as the latest economic studies and assessments for on -site nuclear desalination power plants.Ten main projects around the world are primarily operated as nuclear desalination plants. The major desalination processes coupled with nuclear SMRs are MSF, MED and RO. The cost of water production using nuclear desalination was estimated to range from 0.4 $/m 3 to 1.8 $/m 3 depending on the type of reactor and the desalination process used.
