Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, a prerequisite for the accession of Bulgaria, Lithuania and Slovakia to the European Union was a commitment to prematurely close and subsequently dismantle their early Soviet-designed reactors. Three nuclear power plants with a total of eight reactors were concerned: Kozloduy Units 1-4 in Bulgaria, Ignalina in Lithuania, and Bohunice V1 in Slovakia. From the early 1990s, the EU began to provide financial and technical assistance to partner countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia via the TACIS and PHARE programmes. In 1999, the EU launched three Nuclear Decommissioning Assistance Programmes (NDAP) to help Bulgaria, Lithuania, and Slovakia with the closure and dismantling of the eight nuclear reactors, and the significant social, financial and economic burden this caused. Without covering the full cost of decommissioning nor the compensation of all economic consequences, the Nuclear Decommissioning Assistance Programme aimed to provide financial assistance to several types of projects, for a total EU NDAP support, estimated at €3.8bn for the three countries between 1999 and 2020 (European Parliament, 2017). The NDAP covered two elements: a 'decommissioning window' and an 'energy window'. This report is the final report produced under the framework of the ex-post evaluation of the nuclear decommissioning assistance programme - Energy Window 2007-2013.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the framework of their accession negotiations, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Slovakia committed to closing eight nuclear reactors located on their territories. Recognising the exceptional circumstances of their closure, the EU committed to provide assistance to these countries to support decommissioning through the Nuclear Decommissioning Assistance Programme (NDAP). The aim of the present study was to provide the European Commission with the necessary information to prepare its mid-term evaluation of the NDAP for the period 2014-2020. The study found that programmes are generally on track towards reasonably achieving the principal objectives set for this programming period. Beyond progress on decommissioning, the NDAP has also contributed to some indirect socio-economic impacts. The programme's Monitoring & Control framework has continued to be refined to respond to past weaknesses and enhance programme management. Programme governance & management structures are fit-for-purpose, but further efforts can be directed to improving their functioning. The cost performance of programmes has been satisfactory, but continuous efforts can be made to secure and improve cost-effectiveness at all levels. Finally, the EU Added Value of the NDAP as it has traditionally been defined is naturally declining, but the programme can redefine how it adds value through an increased focus on knowledge-sharing.

Book Synopsis EU Financial Assistance for the Decommissioning of Nuclear Plants in Bulgaria, Lithuania and Slovakia by : European Court of Auditors
Download or read book EU Financial Assistance for the Decommissioning of Nuclear Plants in Bulgaria, Lithuania and Slovakia written by European Court of Auditors and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the framework of the EU accession negotiations, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Slovakia committed to the early closure and decommissioning of eight nuclear reactors, thus facing a significant production capacity loss. The court assessed the effectiveness of the EU financial assistance (2,850 million euro up to now) in supporting recipient countries' efforts to decommission their closed nuclear reactors and to address the consequences of the early closure. The court found that progress has been slow, no comprehensive assessment of future needs exists, and available funding is plainly insufficient. The court recommended making conditional any further support upon an evaluation of the EU added value."--P. [4] of cover.

Book Synopsis Costs of Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants by :
Download or read book Costs of Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While refurbishments for the long-term operation of nuclear power plants and for the lifetime extension of such plants have been widely pursued in recent years, the number of plants to be decommissioned is nonetheless expected to increase in future, particularly in the United States and Europe. It is thus important to understand the costs of decommissioning so as to develop coherent and cost-effective strategies, realistic cost estimates based on decommissioning plans from the outset of operations and mechanisms to ensure that future decommissioning expenses can be adequately covered. This study presents the results of an NEA review of the costs of decommissioning nuclear power plants and of overall funding practices adopted across NEA member countries. The study is based on the results of this NEA questionnaire, on actual decommissioning costs or estimates, and on plans for the establishment and management of decommissioning funds. Case studies are included to provide insight into decommissioning practices in a number of countries.

Book Synopsis The Technological and Economic Future of Nuclear Power by : Reinhard Haas
Download or read book The Technological and Economic Future of Nuclear Power written by Reinhard Haas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book discusses the eroding economics of nuclear power for electricity generation as well as technical, legal, and political acceptance issues. The use of nuclear power for electricity generation is still a heavily disputed issue. Aside from technical risks, safety issues, and the unsolved problem of nuclear waste disposal, the economic performance is currently a major barrier. In recent years, the costs have skyrocketed especially in the European countries and North America. At the same time, the costs of alternatives such as photovoltaics and wind power have significantly decreased.

Book Synopsis Exporting the Bomb by : Matthew H. Kroenig
Download or read book Exporting the Bomb written by Matthew H. Kroenig and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a vitally important book for anyone interested in nuclear proliferation, defense strategy, or international security, Matthew Kroenig points out that nearly every country with a nuclear weapons arsenal received substantial help at some point from a more advanced nuclear state. Why do some countries help others to develop nuclear weapons? Many analysts assume that nuclear transfers are driven by economic considerations. States in dire economic need, they suggest, export sensitive nuclear materials and technology—and ignore the security risk—in a desperate search for hard currency. Kroenig challenges this conventional wisdom. He finds that state decisions to provide sensitive nuclear assistance are the result of a coherent, strategic logic. The spread of nuclear weapons threatens powerful states more than it threatens weak states, and these differential effects of nuclear proliferation encourage countries to provide sensitive nuclear assistance under certain strategic conditions. Countries are more likely to export sensitive nuclear materials and technology when it would have the effect of constraining an enemy and less likely to do so when it would threaten themselves. In Exporting the Bomb, Kroenig examines the most important historical cases, including France's nuclear assistance to Israel in the 1950s and 1960s; the Soviet Union's sensitive transfers to China from 1958 to 1960; China's nuclear aid to Pakistan in the 1980s; and Pakistan's recent technology transfers, with the help of "rogue" scientist A. Q. Khan, from 1987 to 2002. Understanding why states provide sensitive nuclear assistance not only adds to our knowledge of international politics but also aids in international efforts to control the spread of nuclear weapons.
