Book excerpt: Over the years real (inflation-adjusted) O & M cost have begun to level off. The objective of this report is to determine whether the industry and NRC initiatives to control costs have resulted in this moderation in the growth of O & M costs. Because the industry agrees that the control of O & M costs is crucial to the viability of the technology, an examination of the factors causing the moderation in costs is important. A related issue deals with projecting nuclear operating costs into the future. Because of the escalation in nuclear operating costs (and the fall in fossil fuel prices) many State and Federal regulatory commissions are examining the economics of the continued operation of nuclear power plants under their jurisdiction. The economics of the continued operation of a nuclear power plant is typically examined by comparing the cost of the plants continued operation with the cost of obtaining the power from other sources. This assessment requires plant-specific projections of nuclear operating costs. Analysts preparing these projections look at past industry-wide cost trends and consider whether these trends are likely to continue. To determine whether these changes in trends will continue into the future, information about the causal factors influencing costs and the future trends in these factors are needed. An analysis of the factors explaining the moderation in cost growth will also yield important insights into the question of whether these trends will continue.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasingly competitive environment of the electricity sector has significant implications for nuclear power plant (NPP) operations. Management objectives must be focused on efficient operation as the key to profitability. The business and financial success of operating NPPs must be given greater consideration through an integrated approach which also ensures the successful achievement of safety and reliability objectives. In developing strategic and operational goals, nuclear plant managers will be required to embrace and articulate clear and measurable business objectives and goals which not only assure the achievement of safety and reliability but also eliminate unnecessary costs and identify investment opportunities. This publication looks at the optimization of the costs as an integrated part of the management of organization business process with a focus on planning (strategic and tactical) and on controlling (control system, corrective actions and pay reward) functions.--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Identifying the Effect of Nuclear Power Expansion on Energy Costs written by Thomas Jefferson McCall and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, nuclear energy has experienced a renaissance. The demand for energy is projected to rise 20% by the year 2020 and 40% by 2030. This demand increase is due in part to declining construction and operating costs of nuclear power plants and rising costs of fossil fuel energy sources. In this paper, the relationship between nuclear energy production and energy costs is analyzed. Using data from the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration, the effect of changes in states' energy production on their overall energy costs is estimated. In order to isolate the effect of each energy source on energy costs, a multivariate regression including nuclear power, coal, natural gas, oil, and renewable energy is used. Operating costs and consumer energy prices were chosen as proxies for energy costs. Specifications are estimated including state effects, year effects, and state-specific time trends. Estimates suggest that a substantial portion of operating costs is attributable to factors specific to select states. These states, Texas, California, and Louisiana, increase the impact of all energy sources on operating costs and strongly impact the effect of nuclear power, natural gas, and crude oil on these costs. The evidence for the impact of state-specific factors on energy prices is considerably weaker and for some sources of energy, in the opposite direction of the effect on operating costs. Although results indicate that low operating costs in select states have not necessarily translated into lower consumer prices, they do offer a guideline for policies to target states that operate power plants (nuclear and other energy sources) relatively cost-effectively.

Download or read book Reduction of Capital Costs of Nuclear Power Plants written by OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and published by OECD. This book was released on 2000 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
