Description

In order to give an outline of the comparison between nuclear kWh costs and coal kWh costs the author bases his article on recent studies carried out by a working group from producers of electric power in the European Community. These studies demonstrate the competitivity of electricity from nuclear sources in Europe. The author highlights the principal corresponding data; he shows the scatter of results from country to country, indicates the main causes for the differences and also emphasizes the uncertainty connected with future development of coal prices

Pour esquisser la comparaison entre les couts des kWh nucleaire et charbon, l'auteur prend pour base les etudes recentes effectuees par un groupe de travail des producteurs d'electricite de la Communaute europeenne. Ces etudes demontrent la competitivite de l'electricite d'origine nucleaire en Europe. L'auteur degage les principales donnees correspondantes; il montre la dispersion des resultats entre les differents pays, evoque les principales causes des differences et souligne egalement l'incertitude liee a l'evolution future des prix du charbon
