Description

Capital cost and operating cost are compared for different cases of electric power production. For a 1300 MW power plant compared with an equivalent fuel-oil station, the capital overcost in foreign currency is recovered after a one-year operation. Concerning the electronuclear program from 1970 to 1980, the capital expenses in foreign currency will be about device the expenses of an equivalent program based on a fuel-oil solution. However if operating costs are considered, recovering will be total in 1982. In these calculations the price of fuel-oil is assumed to remain at the present level

Abstract (French)

On compare les depenses d'investissement et d'exploitation des differentes variantes de production d'electricite. Dans le cas d'une centrale PWR de 1300 MW, le surcroit en devises de l'investissement par rapport a une solution fuel est 'recupere' des la premiere annee de fonctionnement. Si on considere l'ensemble du programme nucleaire sur la periode 1970-80, la depense en devises d'investissement aura ete environ 2 fois plus forte que celle qu'aurait entrainee l'equipement fuel equivalent. Cependant en tenant compte des couts d'exploitation, la recuperation sera totale des l'annee 1982. Ces resultats sont bases sur l'hypothese d'un maintien au niveau actuel du prix du fuel
