Economic and Financing
Current Activities
Nuclear Economic Performance Information System (NEPIS)
Since 1997, in anticipation of privatization and deregulation in the world electric power industry, IAEA and the Nuclear Committee (NC) of the Electric Utility Cost Group (EUCG) have worked cooperatively to develop the NEPIS database for various regions of the world, which mainly include operation and maintenance cost data, and exchange data with EUCG-NC Nuclear Integrated Information Database (NIID), which mainly include operation and maintenance cost data of US NPPs. The data exchange of NEPIS/NIID has occurred 10 countries over the past years.
A consultancy meeting was organized on October 21-23, 2008 to finalize NEPIS future development, to define the NPP construction and commissioning cost survey and to renew the work plan. NEPIS will be kept as a forum for information exchange regarding nuclear power plant economic performance. Workshops on economic and financing were suggested in 2009-2010 to exchange experience in Member States and design pilot projects regarding construction and commissioning costs for guiding nuclear power newcomers.
