The Chinese 4,200 MWe (5.6 million horsepower), would be the world's biggest repowering project would be like taking 13 MILLION cars off the world's roads.. Hope to make money off Norway's $50 per ton carbon tax, that's $2,065,000,000 per year!
The plan:
Replace Taichung's eight coal-burning boilers with eight modified Russian Rosatom BN-800 nuclear boilers.
The BN-800's nuclear heat exchangers would have to be modified to duplicate Taichung's coal boilers, but other than that, we can start right now.
Everything we need is for sale. China has already purchased two BN-800s for Sanmin City. The many advantages to cleaning up an existing power plant rather than building an entirely new power plant.
