Particulars of Risk Determination for Investments in NPP Construction Projects

An important element in making decisions about choosing a preferred NPP project is the evaluation of the economic risk associated with macroeconomic uncertainty. Different parameters can be used to classify the risks that must be taken into account when calculating the efficacy of building a NPP. They must be viewed as the quintessence of the general, investment, and project risks considered in conventional power generation projects as well as specialized risks inherent in nuclear power. A method of cumulative quantitative determination of the risks of such projects based on global experience is presented here. It can improve the existing approaches to the calculation of the main economic indices of NPP construction projects.
