In a 2012 OECD Nuclear Energy Agency study, The
Economics of Long-Term Operation of Nuclear Power
Plants, the findings concluded that in nearly all cases
the continued operation of nuclear power plants for
at least ten more years is profitable even when taking
into account the additional costs of post-Fukushima
modifications. Nuclear Energy Insider takes into account
the recent successes of plant life extension programmes
and speaks to LTO decision makers from across Europe
to get their fresh perspective on why the LTO business
model is the likely way forward.

On the business case alone, long-term operation is likely
to be the way forward for Europe and in some cases
a combination of long-term operation management
(LTO) and new-build as is the case for Eastern Europe,
Finland and France. The reasoning behind this trend is
recent examples of plant upgrades that are illustrating
to plant operators and owners that life extensions are
proving less expensive and less time consuming than
building a new nuclear plant.]
