Organizational and Economic Solutions to Create Facilities for Storing and Reprocessing Spent Nuclear Fuel

Abstract

Organizational and economic approaches to solving the problems of the reprocessing and disposal of spent nuclear fuel are examined. The capacity shortage for reprocessing spent nuclear fuel is equal to 510–530 tons/yr. It is shown that the financial resources needed to create storage and reprocessing facilities for spent fuel can be obtained by increasing the cost of electricity produced by NPP, which can equal 0.013–0.02 rubles/(kW·h).
