Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses the economics of nuclear. It starts with the fundamentals of nuclear economics, with first the cost of nuclear operations and then the revenue side, in both regulated and deregulated markets. Then the chapter goes in depth into analyzing the economics of two specific cases: long-term operations of existing nuclear plants and nuclear new build-covering potential for cost reductions and the case of Small Modular Reactors. The chapter concludes with a review of new research to understand the value of nuclear in future decarbonized electricity systems.
