Cost analysis for LWR power plants

摘要: Abstract A statistical analysis of light water reactor power plant capital costs that uses a data base is larger and higher quality than used in previous study. The span six years, include virtually all U.S. LWR plants presently commercial operation. During this period average increased at the rate about $140/k We (1978 dollars) per year, construction time 4 months year. Significant economies scale, either or cost, were not detected. Other findings built Northeast continued to show those rest country, experience architect-engineer factor reducing costs, with cooling towers could be distinguished from without.
