Studying the economical efficiency of nuclear power plant application

Reasons for recent reduction of nuclear power unit commissioning at NPPs are considered. Methods for evaluating economic efficiency of different variants of power supply are described. Results of the conducted analysis of NPP application efficiency in different regions of the country are presented. A conclusion is made that NPP application in the European part of the USSR, their specific cost making up 620 roubles/kW, is the most advisable when final expenses for organic fuel make up more than 59 roubles/t. Currently, these expenses for coal and gas are equal to 50 and 58 rouble/t respectively
