Is There a Cost Price for the Heat Produced from Electro-Nuclear Power Stations. Is Thermodynamic Equivalence an Economic Trap. (Y-A-T-Il un Prix de Revient de la Chaleur Produite a Partir de Centrales Electronucleaires. L'Equivalence Thermodynamique Est-Elle un Piege Economique),
Abstract
The thermodynamic equivalence between heat and electricity, when used uncritically and carelessly translated into a price equivalence, can effectively hide a very formidable economic 'trap' and the advantage it appears to indicate for heat production at relatively low temperatures is to be distrusted; in many cases, this advantage may be of little importance in comparison with the disadvantages of low temperatures for transportation and storage.
