“…While the share of safety costs as a percentage of total costs for a new NPP cannot be determined with any precision, it is clearly significant, with estimates ranging up to 40-60%. (Forsberg and Reich, 1991;Hewlett, 1996;Brocker, 1996;Hibbs, 1997;Davis, 1998;IAEA, 1999a). Considerable efforts are being made to develop advanced nuclear reactors characterized by high levels of reactor safety at lower costs, minimum environmental impacts and better resource utilization.…”
