Study Warns Of More Nuclear Shutdowns As Economics Of Operation Deteriorate :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Economic results for US commercial nuclear power plants are expected to deteriorate beyond 2021 and it is unlikely that any but the lowest-cost nuclear units will cover their costs and be viable to remain in operation, a study says.
The study, by Potomac Economics, says the country faces the prospect of well-running nuclear plants shutting down, right when they are needed the most in the fight against climate change.
The report assesses the economic realities facing nuclear plant owners in PJM, the largest electricity market in the US, serving 65 million customers in 13 states. PJM is home to 31 of the nation’s 94 nuclear plants, including many that are currently or have been financially threatened.
