Abstract

Based on the nine-factor PWR economic model,we develop a twelve-factor model to calculate the levelised costs of once-through Th-U cycle in Advanced CANDU Reactor and make the sensitivity analysis.The result shows that the three factors,namely the price of natural uranium,tail enrichment and lead time,are significant in the levelised costs of Th-U cycle.
