摘要

The cost of nuclear power generation is calculated to be a little lower than other power generation methods in Japan when the period of operation is 40 years. In contrast, according to the cost calculation by the Congressional Budget Office in the U.S. Congress, the power generation costs of nuclear power is about 30% higher than those of conventional coal and natural gas thermal power in a reference scenario which excludes any policy support to power generation. IEEJ searched for the factor which can explain the difference between Japan and the U.S. and found that the difference in the discount rate is thought to be a major factor generating a cost difference. The difference in interest rate levels largely controls the economics of nuclear power generation. On the other hand, the change in the fuel prices will cause power generation costs to fluctuate. The power generating costs of nuclear power fluctuate not so much as those of thermal powers. However, nuclear power generation entails regulatory risk as an inherent characteristic that greatly determines its economics. Electric utilities companies are exposed to uncertainties caused by these factors. In order to realize the positive externalities of nuclear power generation, the governments should maintain the appropriate capacity of nuclear power both by minimizing regulatory risk and influencing the cost structure of power generation through government financing or guarantees, carbon dioxide taxation and/or other policy tools.
