So $235 million for 162MW, or $2.35B for 1.6GW
A 1.6GWe nuclear reactor is around $8B.
A 1.6GWe nuclear reactor is around $8B.
The heat pump generates 162MWt, at the cost of around 50MWe.
The nuclear reactor produces 1.6GWe alongside 4.5GWt.
Furthermore the listed costs are also unrelated: the 235 millions are for the bare units (and an estimate for something a few years out), while the 8bn are turnkey (of what exactly I’m not sure: the beleaguered Olkiluoto 3 and flamanville 3 cost 11~12bn, while Taishan is estimated at under 8 for two reactors).
But unlike these heat pumps, the reactor doesn't need electricity.
The article describes how there will be a water battery.
So it can be thought of as a part of a bigger countrywide or europe-wide plan and grid?
(It didn't last very long and was shut down in the mid 1970's, for somewhat obvious reasons.)
