Project Management in Nuclear Power Plant Construction


Book Description

This publication provides guidance on project management from the preparatory phase to plant turnover to commissioning of nuclear power plants. The guidelines and experiences described will enable project managers to obtain better performance in nuclear power plant construction.




Reduction of Capital Costs of Nuclear Power Plants


Book Description

The competitiveness of nuclear power plants depends largely on their capital costs that represent some 60 per cent of their total generation costs. Reviewing and analysing ways and means to reduce capital costs of nuclear power plants are essential to enhance the economic viability of the nuclear option. The report is based upon cost information and data provided by experts from NEA Member countries. It investigates the efficiency of alternative methods for reducing capital costs of nuclear units. It will provide stakeholders from the industry and governmental agencies with relevant elements in support of policy making.




Nuclear Reactor Technology Assessment for Near Term Deployment


Book Description

Given the increasing interest in the near term deployment of new nuclear power plants, IAEA Member States have requested guidance on the process of evaluating and selecting available technology options. Reactor technology assessment enables the evaluation, selection, and deployment of the best technology to meet the objectives of a nuclear power programme. This publication demonstrates how reactor technology assessment is performed and how the process and results of this work enable decision making in nuclear power planning. The approach also provides decision makers with the documentation necessary to support their conclusions.




Bid Invitation Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants


Book Description

This Guidebook constitutes a complement to a series of technical guidebooks: Technical Evaluation of Bids for Nuclear Power Plants, Technical Reports Series No. 204 (1981); Guidebook on the Introduction of Nuclear Power, Technical Reports Series No. 217 (1982); and Economic Evaluation of Bids for Nuclear Power Plants, 1999 Edition, Technical Reports Series No. 369 (2000). These provide, in particular, information on the process of plant acquisition and advice on the principal activities involved in the planning and implementation of nuclear power projects, as well as on the infrastructure requirements and development needs for the successful implementation of a nuclear power programme. These reports are directed to the special needs of developing countries.




Electricity Auctions


Book Description

Electricity-contract auctions have been getting increased attention as they have emerged as a successful mechanism to procure new generation capacity and. This book presents a comprehensive overview of international experiences in auction design and implementation.




Economics of Nuclear Power


Book Description

This book is a unique introduction to the economic costs of nuclear power. It examines the future of the nuclear power industry and unpacks the complicated relationships between its technical, economic and political variables. It does so by modelling the costs, risks and uncertainties of one of the world’s most opaque industries using micro-econometrics, econometrics, and cost engineering. Economics of Nuclear Power examines the very important costs of externalities (storing of nuclear waste and the impact of a Chernobyl or Fukushima event) and compares those to the externalities of alternative carbon based energies (oil, coal, natural gas). With over 100 tables and figures this book details nuclear power production around the world - present and planned, providing a completely global focus. It also includes an overview of the past 70 years of international nuclear power developments. This book is essential reading for students, scholars and professionals interested in energy economics, nuclear engineering and energy policy.
