Abstract

This paper is dealing with the possibility and economic feasibility of applying digital economy tools on Russian nuclear power enterprises. The purpose was to assess the economic impact of digital technologies’ applying on the NPPs nuclear fuel cost creation stage during the transition to the sixth technological mode. The results of a comparative analysis of the nuclear fuel costs calculated by Russian and world prices for the VVER-1000 and PWR 14 × 14 nuclear fuel presented. The economic feasibility of foreign spent nuclear fuel reprocessing to the Russian reprocessing plants and nuclear fuel recycling are substantiated. The economic efficiency of the Russian information and computer technologies’ implementation is logically proved at the NPPs operation stage.
