Forecasting the dynamics of decommissioning nuclear power plants

The forecast of the dynamics of the nuclear power plants decommissioning, taking into account the duration of operational period, is given in the article. This forecast reflects the volume of markets for decommissioning nuclear power plants in the world by region. The amounts of spent nuclear fuel arising from the shutdown of reactors and fuel overloads of operating reactors are calculated and compared. Additionally, the costs of decommissioning and construction of reactors to replace retired facilities are estimated. (paper)
