Base-Load Nuclear Reactors for Fully Dispatchable Electricity: Nuclear Air-Brayton Combined Cycles, Firebrick Heat Storage, Hydrogen Storage, and Hydrocarbon Biofuels

Three partly coupled integrated nuclear energy systems are described. These enable base-load nuclear reactors to provide fully dispatchable electricity without greenhouse-gas emissions, thus replacing gas turbines burning natural gas and batteries storing electricity. These hybrid systems link the i...
