Abstract

The Fourth International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy and the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency both produced recommendations in 1971 that efforts should be intensified to assist developing countries in planning for nuclear power. The IAEA undertook in 1972-73 the specific analysis of the possible long-range economic justificaiton for nuclear power plants in 14 of the developing countries. In this article, Mr Falls reviews the methodology and procedures used in carrying out the analytical work; briefly describes several computer programmes that were specifically developed for the Survey; and summarises the overall results which indicate essentially no market, for nuclear power plants to be commissioned in 1980-89, of less than 200 MWe but a substantial market for sizes in the range of 200–600 MWe.
