Bridging a gap
Human activities are inherently embedded into the environment and must stay within the limits of our planet. Nuclear power is highlighted as a low-carbon technology to mitigate climate change by industry and sometimes by academia and in politics. From a system perspective, it is inevitable to shed light on the accumulation of long-lived and hazardous radioactive materials stemming from the operation of nuclear power plants. Only recently, the pla…
The “Nuclear Energy Paradox”- Investigating nuclear imaginaries in energy projections
Current energy projections often envision an expansion of nuclear capacities to decarbonize future energy systems. However, this contrasts with the historic and current status of the nuclear industry, marked by techno-economic challenges for both light-water and non-light-water reactor technologies. Regardless, projections of strong nuclear growth have persisted since the 1970s. This paper investigates the “nuclear energy paradox” which shows the…
Questioning nuclear scale-up propositions
Organizational models for the decommissioning of nuclear power plants
With nuclear reactor fleets continuously aging, the decommissioning of closed reactors is gaining increasing attention. In nuclear decommissioning, technical, organizational, and regulatory challenges lead to long project durations and cost escalations. This paper attempts to examine the organizational efficiencies in nuclear decommissioning by applying the framework of the "system good" analysis and assessments based on new institutional economi…
Atomwende? Ja, bitte! Warum die Abkehr von der Atomenergie und eine gute Entsorgungspolitik die Energiewende in Deutschland befördern werden
Die Atomenergie bleibt gesellschaftlich umkämpft. Zum einen wird sie wieder als Zukunftstechnologie gehandelt, mit der vermeintlich klimafreundlich und ressourcenschonend Strom erzeugt werden kann. Zum anderen ist die Endlagerung von Atomabfällen noch nicht geregelt. Das Konzept der ,,atompolitischen Wende“ bringt ‐ analog zur Energiewende ‐ dieses Ringen auf den Punkt. Die Beendigung der kommerziellen Nutzung der Atomenergie und eine gute Entsor…
A collective blueprint, not a crystal ball
Democratic quality and nuclear power
Wer soll die Zeche zahlen? Diskussion alternativer Organisationsmodelle zur Finanzierung von Rückbau und Endlagerung
Gemäß dem Verursacherprinzip sollte jedes Individuum für die durch sie oder ihn verursachten Umweltbelastungen und -schäden aufkommen. Demzufolge müssten die Energieversorgungsunternehmen die Kosten des Rückbaus deutscher Atomkraftwerke und der Endlagerung radioaktiven Abfalls tragen. Die Einrichtung eines öffentlich-rechtlichen Fonds scheint dafür am besten geeignet zu sein. Kritik am Verursacherprinzip selber zeigt aber auch, dass statt der zwa…
Development scenarios for the North and Baltic Seas Grid – A welfare economic analysis
Introduction
Quo vadis efficiency analysis of water distribution? A comparative literature review
Efficient pricing for European electricity networks – The theory of nodal pricing applied to feeding-in wind in Germany
Infrastructure, regulation, investment and security of supply
Infrastructure regulation and investment for the long-term—an introduction
What Infrastructure Policies for Post-Socialist Eastern Europe? Lessons from the Public Investment Programmes (PIP) in the Baltic Countries
Infrastructure is a sensitive issue. Politicians and public investment-banks generally argue that 'the extension of infrastructure ... makes a significant contribution to economic growth and employment' (European Investment Bank,: Annual Report 1995), while, by contrast, economic research has nothing conclusive to say on the matter (Gramlich, 1994). Things become still more complicated when it comes to the post-socialist economies in Eastern Euro…
