The potential development of any nuclear power program requires a rigorous justification process built upon an objective infrastructure, reviewing the substantial regulatory, economic and technical information required to appropriately decide upon implementation of such a long-term commitment. Both new entrants and those countries wishing to renovate their nuclear fleets after a long moratorium will need to develop and apply appropriate infrastructures to review the justification of the potential use of nuclear power. This book provides a comprehensive review of the infrastructure and methodologies required to justify the implementation of nuclear power programs in any country choosing to review this path.
