Description

This publication examines alternative contracting and ownership approaches for the development, construction, commissioning, operation and decommissioning of new nuclear power plants. It identifies issues faced by IAEA Member States considering the applicability of such approaches to their respective national programmes. Two new approaches to nuclear project development are analysed. These are, firstly, the Build-Own-Operate (BOO)/Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOO(T)) and, secondly, regional approaches. The information includes practical examples, current practices and case studies, and reflects the presentations and discussions that took place in a series of IAEA meetings on this topic.
