Rationalizing regulation could help cut US O and M costs

  • 1. RCG/Hagler, Bailly-Stoller Power Div., Boulder, CO (USA)

Description

Rationalizing safety regulation could dramatically reduce the contractor costs which have become such a large component of rising operating and maintenance costs at nuclear power plants in the United States. Multi-plant operating companies are also a possibility - attractive to utilities because of the economies of scale that they bring and the greater influence that they wield. (author)
