Nuclear fuel cycle cost in the face of uncertainty

Long-term planning and decision making are a major part of the utility fuel manager's responsibilities. The proper performance of these responsibilities is made that much more challenging by the many uncertainties that encumber the world in which he must work. A proper appreciation for the sensitivity of nuclear fuel costs to the myriad of factors that can and do affect these costs can be best achieved through the application of probabilistic modeling techniques. The methodology to perform such an analysis has been formalized in the menu-driven, personal computer based program, PROBCOST. PROBCOST facilitates a quantitative analysis of these uncertainties and enables the fuel manager to better evaluate the relative contribution of various factors to the total nuclear fuel cost.
