Technical and Economic Estimations in Nuclear Power Engineering: Modeling and Computations. II

ABSTRACT

An economic-mathematical model has been proposed for estimating the production cost of electric power of nuclear-power complex (NPC) with allowance for expenditures at all technological stages of the nuclear-fuel cycle (NFC). The use of the ideas of constructing the production type models permitted to create a model of interproduct balance of certain structure which takes into account all technical peculiarities of closed NFC with the reactor plant (RP). Leontyev's modified model obtained by optimal aggregation of the production type model has been used for the cost calculations. The authors have confirmed the determining effect of cost of the basic funds of nuclear power plant on the cost of electricity as compared to the cost of fuel and working funds. The model can be adapted to any NFC modification in the case of implementing the scenarios of NPC development using the perfected structures of modern RP.

KEYWORDS

nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear reactor, economic and mathematical model, interproduct balance, the price of electricity production.
