Example G Cost of construction of nuclear power plants

چکیده

Table G.1 gives data, reproduced by permission of the Rand Corporation, from a report (Mooz, 1978) on 32 light water reactor (LWR) power plants constructed in USA. It is required to predict the capital cost involved in the construction of further LWR power plants. The notation used in Table G.1 is explained in Table G.2. The final 6 lines of data in Table G.1 relate to power plants for which there were partial turnkey guarantees and for which it is possible that some manufacturer’s subsidies might be hidden in the quoted capital costs.

Design and analysis of hybrid systems solar, wind, osmotic for green plants using ant colony optimization algorithm

Nature has always proven that it is able to overcome its problems. However, human manipulation has led to environmental degradations. The dryness of a thousand-year Urmia Lake (a brinewater lake in Iran) is an example of environmental degradation that happened due to successive droughts and construction of dams on the basin of this lake. This study examines methods for the revival of Urmia Lake...

Update on the Cost of Nuclear Power

We update the cost of nuclear power as calculated in the MIT (2003) Future of Nuclear Power study. Our main focus is on the changing cost of construction of new plants. The MIT (2003) study provided useful data on the cost of then recent builds in Japan and the Republic of Korea. We provide similar data on later builds in Japan and the Republic of Korea as well as a careful analysis of the fore...

International Project Risk Management for Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Construction: Featuring Comparative Analysis with Fossil and Gas Power Plants

The concern of risk management has continuously increased in international construction projects. International projects have a high level of risk and complexity, which results in greater possibilities of cost overruns and schedule conflicts when compared with local projects. Therefore, the goal of risk management is to improve project performance by systematically identifying and assessing pro...

Cost overruns and financial risk in the construction of nuclear power reactors: a critical appraisal

Lovering and colleagues attempt to advance understanding of construction cost escalation risks inherent in building nuclear reactors and power plants, a laudable goal. Although we appreciate their focus on capital cost increases and overruns, we maintain in this critical appraisal that their study conceptualizes cost issues in a limiting way. Methodological choices in treating different cost ca...

Metal And Concrete Inputs For Several Nuclear Power Plants

In nuclear energy systems, the major construction inputs are steel and concrete, which comprise over 95% of the material energy inputs. The evaluation of construction material inputs is central to life-cycle assessments for environmental impacts for nuclear and other non-fossil energy systems, and can provide a useful, if only qualitative, plausibility check for economics claims. This paper com...
