Phasing out Nuclear Energy and Core Elements of Sustainable Energy Strategy

Abstract

How to replace the present electricity generation using nuclear power plants in the future? Technically it is no problem to introduce modern huge power stations operating on the basis of natural gas or coal as a substitute. On the other hand, there are certain problems of location related to particular plants, because replacement plants, needing a different infrastructure, sometimes cannot be built at sites where today’s nuclear plants are located. In general there are solutions to these problems of location, but they might lead to shifts in the market shares of enterprises or call new suppliers into action. This is a strain for single companies, but that is economically acceptable.
