Perceptions of risks and timing in breeder development decisions
Description
This paper considers the role of the breeder from an electric utility point of view. FBRs will be required as a capacity option, in order to maintain flexibility in the choice of the future generation mix. The uncertainties in electric demand growth rate, and in the availability of other power technologies, indicate that foreclosing the breeder option now would not represent a prudent generation planning policy. 23 refs
