2. Description of Purpose
   Set of algorithms for estimating the capital cost of advanced nuclear reactor designs including methods for estimating uncertainties.
3. Restrictions on the Complexity of the Problems
   Current algorithms are focused on PWRs, but have been applied to SFRs.
4. Status
   Working versions have been applied to a number of problems, but still under development.
