    Spent Nuclear Fuel Management: Levelized Cost of Electricity Generation and Analysis of Various Production Scenarios

    by Laura Rodriguez-Penalonga, Beatriz Yolanda Moratilla Soria, Paula Ocaña-Pastor, Paula Martín-Cañas, Borja Belda-Sánchez, Natalia Cortes-Sanz, Mathilde Estadieu, José Ignacio Linares-Hurtado, José Manuel Vidal-Bernardez, Marta Niño-Serrano

    This article aims to analyze the results of an economic study carried out to compare the influence of nuclear production capacity in different countries. The analysis is based on LCOEs (levelized cost of electricity) for three back-end strategies: open cycle, closed cycle and advanced closed cycle. The results show that costs are not a relevant criteria in order to select an energy policy for the spent nuclear fuel management.

    Impact of the Taxes on Used Nuclear Fuel on the Fuel Cycle Economics in Spain

    by B. Yolanda Moratilla Soria, Rosario Ruiz-Sánchez, Mathilde Estadieu, Borja Belda-Sánchez, Cristina Cordón-Peralta, Paula Martín-Cañas, Laura Rodriguez-Penalonga, M. Del Mar Cledera-Castro, M. Ana Sáenz-Nuño, Carlos Morales-Polo

    In 2013, the Spanish government created two new taxes on used nuclear fuel. This article aims to present the results of an economic study carried out to compare the costs of long-term storage of used nuclear fuel –open cycle strategy–, with the cost of the strategy of reprocessing and recycling used fuel– closed cycle strategy– taking into account the impact of the new taxes on the global cost of the fuel cycle. The results show that the costs of open-cycle and closed-cycle spent fuel management, evaluated in Spain after the introduction of the taxes, are sufficiently similar (within the bounds of uncertainty), that the choice between both is predicated on other than purely economic criteria.
