The cost of nuclear electricity: France after Fukushima

Boccard, Nicolas - In: Energy Policy 66 (2014) C, pp. 450-461

The Fukushima disaster has lead the French government to release novel cost information relative to its nuclear electricity program allowing us to compute a levelized cost. We identify a modest escalation of capital cost and a larger than expected operational cost. Under the best scenario, the...
