ABSTRACT
In determining the sensitivity of the 1970 Analysis results to HTGR market penetration, Whitman et al. reported:
Removal of the HTGR from the computational model increases the 7% discounted benefits of the breeder almost 100% from $21.5 billion to $42.3 billion. This is attributable to the fact that, without the HTGR, the base cost of producing power using only fossil plants and the LWR, is markedly increased. 1
