“…The results of carbon dioxide gas emissions in electric boiler, gas boiler, nuclear combined heat and power plants, and heat pump with district heating systems equal to 1291, 2382, 767 and 1017, respectively, showed that the emission of greenhouse gases from the nuclear hybrid system with the heat distribution network is much lower than the other methods 59 . In the research by Jaskólski et al, the results of the thermodynamic and economic study of nuclear power plants such as AP1000 showed that by utilizing the operation of nuclear reactor at peak thermal load up to 250 MW, it is not necessary to introduce the variation in the arrangement of the unit cycles or the thermal capacity for reactor 60 …”

Nuclear energy is often viewed as linked exclusively to electrical power generation. However, the applications for nuclear energy are significantly greater than only electricity, and include cogeneration, district heating and cooling, high-temperature process heating, hydrogen and alternative fuel production, transportation and desalination. These additional applications expand the prospects for nuclear energy notably, and enhance the benefits that can be derived from it, such as reduced environmental impact and climate change mitigation. Interest in non-electric applications of nuclear energy is growing for environmental, economic, security and other reasons. In this paper, non-electric applications of nuclear energy are reviewed, including technological, environmental and economic issues of such applications as well as future prospects and benefits of non-electric applications of nuclear energy.

“…Nuclear cogeneration refers to production of value added products apart from heat and electricity using additional facilities located on or very close to the power plant site itself 1‐4 . Khamis et al 1 have examined some of these possibilities for water‐cooled reactors, whereas the role of high‐temperature nuclear reactors in supporting cogeneration has been studied by Wrochna et al 2 District heating using hot water from the secondary side of the nuclear power plant has been one of the well‐known examples of nuclear cogeneration as described by Jaskolski et al 3 A generic overview of the challenges and opportunities in nuclear cogeneration with particular reference to Europe has been provided by Leurent et al 4 The opportunities include production of desalinated sea water (through thermal and membrane based desalination technologies) whose techno economic features have been studied by Khamis and El‐Emam 5 and Nisan and Dardour 6 . The use of a high‐temperature reactor for desalination has been examined by Khalid et al 7 while Sadeghi et al look at the possibilities with water‐cooled nuclear reactor systems 8 .…”

Nuclear power plants provide clean, carbon free, stable, reliable electricity and can offer nonelectric products and services via cogeneration operations to multiple sectors. This contributes to decarbonization of the current energy and industrial systems, supports climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts and ensures sustainable development over the long term, according to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) framework and the provisions of the Conference of Parties 21 (COP21) Paris Agreement, 2015. This work surveys the potential role of nuclear cogeneration projects in meeting these objectives based on the current technological landscape. It focuses on nuclear assisted desalination for freshwater production and electrolytic hydrogen production as the use cases and suggests an assessment framework for their holistic evaluation. New integrated metrics and multi-criteria performance indicators beyond the levelized cost of production are developed to quantify the likely multi-dimensional impacts of such projects. The use of these for screening alternatives illustrates the fact that depending on weightage given to different criteria, different technologies may appear to be better suited to deployment under given set of conditions. These metrics are expected to be useful for creation of a decision support system for deployment of nuclear cogeneration projects.
