Abstract:
An offshore, floating, moored, nuclear power generating plant and multi-purpose platform is disclosed herein. In a preferred embodiment, the invention consists of a spar or cell spar platform with multi-purpose, all weather topside decks, attached to a submerged “dry tank” that further includes: reactor generator deck(s), power plant main control deck, and central plant deck, that are all integrated within a watertight ballast hull. The invention design further includes cells that are modular for facilitating factory assembly and ultimate construction in a shipyard environment. Reactor vessels are typical naval nuclear reactor having a time tested outstanding safety record. A plurality of reactor generator modules are interconnected and operate independently and collectively and are transmitted by a plurality of high voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine cables through a transformer to the electrical grid. Multipurpose topside decks house vessel commend, crew, and any ancillary and co-generation equipment. The present invention, constructed in a multi-path manufacturing process, provides exceptional economic, environmental, sustainability, security, safety, and operational advantages over the current art of power generation.

Claim (Index 1):
A semi-submersible, electrical power generating spar platform, configured with positive buoyancy comprising:\n a vertical column defining a vertical axis of the platform; a topside deck about the vertical column configured with the positive buoyancy to rise above a sea surface; a main control deck situated below the topside deck, the main control deck also about the vertical column, the main control deck further housing equipment for command and control of the semi-submersible spar platform; a reactor generator deck, also about the vertical column for housing a pressurized water nuclear reactor, a steam generator thermally coupled to the reactor and a steam turbine generator for generating electrical power, the reactor generator deck situated below the main control deck; and a heat exchanger configured below the reactor generator deck thermally coupled to a large body of water, the heat exchanger below the main control deck and the reactor generator deck further wherein the heat exchanger configured below the reactor generator deck is housed in a cylindrical seawater tank, the cylindrical seawater tank further having a cool seawater effluent configured above a cold seawater inlet, the cylindrical seawater tank, the heat exchanger thereby housed in a wet tank, the wet tank providing ballast, buoyancy control and stability to the spar platform, the heat exchanger further \u2014  providing heat transfer to a steam cycle comprising the steam turbine generator, further wherein the vertical column extends down below the sea surface through the main control deck and through the reactor generator deck.
