“…Interesting analyses on nuclear cogeneration (considering also high temperature reactors) have been also done in Poland by Jedrzejewski and Hanuszkiewicz-Drapala [10]. In [11] impact of the nuclear power unit on decreasing emissions of greenhouse gases has been presented. The results show that in the case of nuclear power plants (the planned share of energy production in 2030) about 15% the greenhouse gasses burdening the energy mix will be as low as 171 kg CO 2 /TJ in 2030.…”

Consumption of energy is one of the important indicators in developing countries, but a lot of companies from the energy sector have to cope with three key challenges, namely how to reduce their impact on the environment, how to ensure the low cost of the energy production and how to improve the system overall performance? For Polish energy market, the number of challenges is greater. The growing demand for electricity and contemporary development of nuclear power technology allow today's design, implement new solutions for high energy conversion system low unit cost for energy and fuel production. In the present paper, numerical analysis of modular high-temperature nuclear reactor coupled with the steam cycle for electricity production has been presented. The analysed system consists of three independent cycles. The first two are high-temperature nuclear reactor cycles which are equipped with two high-temperature nuclear reactors, heat exchangers, blowers, steam generators. The third cycle is a Rankine cycle which is equipped with up to four steam turbines, that operate in the heat recovery system. The analysis of such a system shows that is possible to achieve significantly greater efficiency than offered by traditional nuclear reactor technology.
