Sommario/riassunto

This publication by the International Atomic Energy Agency provides a



comprehensive framework for conducting cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of new nuclear power projects. It addresses the economic, social, and environmental impacts of nuclear energy investments, offering guidelines specifically tailored for nuclear new builds. The book aims to assist IAEA Member States, particularly newcomers, in performing feasibility studies to justify nuclear power projects. It emphasizes the importance of efficient resource allocation and societal benefits exceeding costs. The intended audience includes policymakers, project managers, and stakeholders involved in nuclear power development.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume examines the nature of interfirm networks and their role in promoting industrial competitiveness.  Where previous work in this area has tended to be descriptive, the distinguished contributors to this volume present a balanced theoretical and empirical approach to interfirm networking drawing on a variety of international case studies. Issues covered include:* The role of networks in regulating conflict and producing co-operation* The role of networks in developing knowledge and competences* Network governance and conflict intensive networks

Sommario/riassunto

Product acquisition involves an examination of the support cost of major equipment over its total life years. Depending on the type of equipment, support costs may range from 10 to 100 times the cost of acquisition. 'Life Cycle Costing: Techniques, Models and Applications' offers a comprehensive approach to the entire field, and treats it in such a way that the reader requires no previous knowledge to understand the contents. It covers all advances and recent progress in life cycle costing from its history and definitions to current approaches. It is fully referenced for deeper study in any sp
