9. Nuclear Power Plants in Polish power system
MINISTRY OF ECONOMY
Nuclear Power Plants in Polish power system
stable and reliable electricity generation sources with 60-year lifetime
new capacities to replace old public power plants; limiting import of coal
predictable and stable in long time period electricity generation costs,
possibility of fuel storage for many years ahead
known spent fuel and radioactive waste management technologies;
possibility of uranium suppliers selection from various regions and stability of fuel supply
internalization of numerous external costs
CO2 and other emission free
Based on our analyses and the European and world wide experience we came into conclusion that there are a number of rationales for implementing Nuclear Energy into our Power System
Just to briefly mention the most important arguments. Nuclear power plants in the Polish power system means: -
