Analysis of Economic Efficiency of Long-Term Fuel Cycles Introduction at the NPP with WWER-1000
Currently, nuclear power industry in Russia tends to lengthen reactor life. However, it is important to know what impact the reactor life lengthening will have on the NPP economic indicators. So, impact of reactor life lengthening on the value of utilization factor of installed capacity is estimated in the article, as well as economic efficiency of long-term fuel cycles at the NPP with WWER-1000 is calculated.
