Step 6: Economic analysisGenerated by AI.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.Generated by AI.IAEA Nuclear Energy SeriesNuclear power plantsEconomic aspectsGenerated by AICost effectivenessGenerated by AINuclear power plantsEconomic aspects.Cost effectivenessMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911026043503321Approaches to Cost-Benefit Analysis of New Nuclear Power Projects4433417UNINA
