ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM NUCLEAR POWER PROGRAMME
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4290417
The projected United Kingdom nuclear power program over the next eight to nine years is briefly reviewed. Generation costs for the nuclear stations under construction are given and compared with those for typical modern conventional stations which will be completed at about the same time. Nuclear generation costs for stations in the remainder of the program are estimated. Factors influencing costs are described, including life of the plant and methcds of minimizing fuel costs by control of fuel replacement. The development of the U.K. electricity generating system, in the light of the costs given, is described. Future developments are considered, particularly the influence of pumped storage, conventional fuel fired super-heating, the trend of nuclear fuel costs, and the variation in available load factors.
