Book Description
This study of economic and social impacts of nuclear power facilities compares a nuclear energy center (NEC) consisting of three surrogate sites in Ocean County, New Jersey with nuclear facilities dispersed in the Pennsylvania - New Jersey - Maryland area. The NEC studied in this report is assumed to contain 20 reactors of 1200 MW(e) each, for a total NEC capacity of 24,000 MW(e). Following the Introductory chapter, Chapter II discusses briefly the methodological basis for estimating impacts. This part of the analysis only considers impacts of wages and salaries and not purchase of construction materials within the region. Chapters III and IV, respectively, set forth the scenarios of an NEC at each of three sites in Ocean County, N.J. and of a pattern of dispersed nuclear power plants of total equivalent generating capacity. In each case, the economic impacts (employment and income) are calculated, emphasizing the regional effects. In Chapter V these impacts are compared and some more general conclusions are reported. A more detailed analysis of the consequences of the construction of a nuclear power plant is given in Chapter VI. An interindustry (input-output) study, which uses rather finely disaggregated data to estimate the impacts of a prototype plant that might be constructed either as a component of the dispersed scenario or as part of an NEC, is given. Some concluding remarks are given in Chapter VII, and policy questions are emphasized. (MCW).

Investigating Benefits and Challenges of Converting Retiring Coal Plants Into Nuclear Plants

Book Description
"The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits and challenges associated with a coal-to-nuclear (C2N) transition in the United States. Benefits and challenges are complex and can be evaluated on many dimensions. Those evaluated here include (a) the potential for U.S. coal power plant (CPP) sites to be repurposed to sites with a nuclear power plant (NPP) measured at a national scale, (b) the cost and project timeline implications arising from infrastructure compatibility in repurposing equipment, and (c) regional economic and environmental impacts to communities where the C2N transition takes place. To this end, the study aims to answer these questions: In the United States, how many CPP sites are candidates for C2N transition? What are the risks/benefits associated with different C2N project types? How will C2N transition affect surrounding communities?"--Page 1.

Book Description
Transforming the energy system is at the core of the dedicated sustainable development goal on energy within the new United Nations development agenda. This publication explores the possible contribution of nuclear energy to addressing the issues of sustainable development through a large selection of indicators. It reviews the characteristics of nuclear power in comparison with alternative sources of electricity supply, according to economic, social and environmental pillars of sustainability. The findings summarized in this publication will help the reader to consider, or reconsider, the contribution that can be made by the development and operation of nuclear power plants in contributing to more sustainable energy systems.
