Abstract
A Super Critical Water-cooled Reactor system with an open fuel cycle and two Fast Reactor systems, one with a break-even fuel cycle and another with a burner fuel cycle, were selected for the benchmarking exercise. Published data on capital and operating costs were used for economics analyses using G4ECONS and NEST tools. Both G4ECONS and NEST predicted comparable TCIC and LUEC; with some variation in fuel cycle costs. The benchmarking exercise was also useful to understand the differences in the two methodologies for potential harmonisation opportunities in the future.
