Визначення ефективності вироблення електричної енергії атомними електростанціями за методологією повних енергетичних витрат. Частина 2. Витрати енергії на ядерне паливо

Abstract

We present the results of determination of the efficiency of electric energy generation by nuclear power plants with WWER-1000 reactors according to the methodology of full energy expenditures. The methodology for determining the efficiency of technologies was published earlier. In part 1 of the article, which was published in the 2nd issue of "The Problems of General Energy" for 2018, we give the results of calculations of the full energy costs for the construction of nuclear power plants. Part 2 presents the results of calculations of energy expenditure for obtaining nuclear fuel, which is necessary for the operation of NPP during its lifetime. It is shown that the full energy costs of nuclear fuel for an NPP unit with WWER-1000 reactors during 40 years of operation under the option of invariance of policy of the NBU of Ukraine regarding exchange rates are set at 18.6 PJ; the same costs at the rate of hryvnia in terms of the parity of purchasing power of US dollar are determined in the amount of 5.0 PJ. Part 3 envisions the coverage of questions on energy costs for NPP operation, costs for its decommissioning, and determination of the final efficiency of power generation at NPPs. Part 3 will be published in the following issues of collection.
