Nuclear Coal-To-Liquid Energy

The purpose of this book was to identify the implications of the licensing process-related costs for coupling high temperature reactor(s) (HTR) to the SASOL coal-to-liquid (CTL) process (known as nuclear coal-to-liquid (NCTL)). This was achieved by formulating a licensing plan using SASOL Secunda as a case study. The secondary objectives of the book were: to analyse the national nuclear regulatory (NNR) act, regulation and authorisation, relevant to the licensing of the NCTL production plant; identify variables influencing licensing and evaluating the relative significance from the perspective of relevant stakeholders; and evaluate the magnitude of the activity-base costs. In order to achieve these goals, an in-depth literature review was conducted to understand the application of nuclear licensing and related concepts.
