Nuclear power is gradually retreating from its former prominence in the world. Not-very-old phrases such as “nuclear renaissance” have become history, as it has turned out that new reactors do not stand a chance against other sources in an open market environment. Governments have therefore come up with previously unthinkable proposals for various guarantee mechanisms aimed at encouraging potential investors. What will their impacts be? Are they not ignoring other costs that are not reflected in the price of nuclear electricity?
The objective of the international conference NEC 2014 “Economic Limits of the Nuclear Power Industry” was to discuss, in the presence of international and Czech experts, precisely these economic aspects of the nuclear power industry, which condition its future.
