Abstract: This report is prepared based on the results of activities performed in Russia on the development of energy desalination complexes (EDCs) with different reactor plants. The activities were aimed at the development of conceptual designs for EDCs and evaluation of the EDC from a technical-economic point of view, commercial attractiveness and economic efficiency based on reactor plants such as KLT-40S and GT-MHR coupled to distillation, reverse osmosis and hybrid desalination plants.

Keywords: PWR reactors; gas cooled reactors; thermal distillation; reverse osmosis; complex cost estimating; DEEP program; nuclear desalination; nuclear reactors; Russia; desalination costs.
