Nuclear long term operation in Europe: challenges, opportunities and future plans 2013 Nuclear Energy Insider Katherine Steiner-Dicks, Editor and Siobhan O’Meara, Industry Analyst 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.]
