Abstract
The possibility of decreasing the capital cost of building a nuclear power plant by unifying the equipment and technological processes is examined for the example of the experience in building and operating propulsion nuclear power-generating units. It is shown that it is desirable to adopt for nuclear power plants the most effective solutions and organizational-technical, and technological approaches which have been implemented in the development of propulsion nuclear power systems.
