NEA support for countries interested in calculating their system costs and optimising their electricity system

Challenges related to extended storage are topical in most countries with mature nuclear programmes. Effort to address this issue is ongoing in individual countries. Available knowledge from member c...

The overall aim of this expert group is to produce a definitive study across NEA member countries of the costs of management and disposal of radioactive waste from the nuclear fuel cycle on a common ...

Decommissioning activities are clearly set to increase internationally, giving rise to a sizeable market, growing in business and competition. Meanwhile, ongoing decommissioning work continue at a su...

Under the Paris Agreement, OECD countries agreed to aim for a reduction of their greenhouse gas emissions sufficient to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre...

Fuel cycle economics evaluates costs related to the nuclear fuel cycle. This includes uranium, its conversion and enrichment, fuel fabrication, spent fuel, high-level waste disposal and transport.
