Reactor ageing and phase-out policies: global and regional prospects for nuclear power generation

Samuel Carrara

Energy Policy, 2020, vol. 147, issue C

Abstract: Nuclear is considered as a valuable option for the decarbonization of power generation, as it is a no-carbon, yet commercially consolidated technology. However, its real prospects are uncertain, especially in the OECD countries. The main aim of this work is to explore the techno-economic implications of policy-relevant scenarios for nuclear power, designed on the actual prospects in the world regions and developed with the Integrated Assessment Model WITCH.
