THE PROJECTED INFLUENCE OF EXTENDED UNIT SERVICE

M.E. Lapides

The Energy Journal, 1991, vol. 12, issue 1_suppl, 273-278

Abstract: If the operational life of a nuclear power plant can be extended, decommissioning will be delayed. In effect, this is an alternative to decommissioning. Is this a sensible or desirable option? In this chapter, M.E. Lapides evaluates the cost, environmental consequences, and funding impacts of delaying for 20 to 30 years. One of his conclusions is that the impacts of decommissioning on any of these three categories will be insignificant to the decommissioning decision. A contrasting view was offered in Chapter 20.
