Improved methods for managing megaprojects
Nuclear power is in danger of fading away as a signicant source of energy supply in some parts of the world unless it becomes more competitive. The cost of nuclear energy largely depends on capital cost because nuclear power plants are very expensive to design and build and relatively cheap to …

The Lone Star and the atom: Nuclear energy in Texas, 1945-1993
Nuclear energy, since its inception in 1945, has been one the United States' most controversial technologies. Even before the well-publicized incidences at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, nuclear projects encountered a variety of problems and obstacles that decreased their cost-effectiveness. …

Critical Success Factors: an Analysis of some factors at a Nuclear Power utility in South Africa
… success. The indication was that the success of projects can be improved if these factors were considered across the lifecycle of the project and they can be tailor-made to be specific to a particular industry. With this in mind, this research study has been conducted at a nuclear power plant …

Capital cost evaluation of advanced reactor designs under uncertainty and risk
… present an enormous market opportunity for the nuclear industry. To stay within the 1.5°C limit by 2050, across a range of scenarios, the IPCC forecasted a 2.5x average increase in global nuclear generation. High capital costs and the risk of overruns and delays may prevent the industry from …

Design for Cost Methodology Applied to High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors
… of government contracting. Similarly, the nuclear industry produces and still designs Ferrari-like fission reactors, with high performance metrics in terms of power density and unit power, at a megaproject scale, but with high system and operational complexity, extreme development cost, …
