Abstract

This analysis compares the cost of various electric grid scenarios at the national level over a one-year period. Scenarios include high renewable, zero nuclear, zero carbon, and deployment of advanced nuclear. Additionally, several carbon tax scenarios are explored in the model to further assess the cost generation if the current nuclear fleet retired. The cheapest scenarios were those that involved less reliance on conventional nuclear reactors and more molten salt reactors, renewables, or natural gas.
