The U.S. nuclear industry has overcome a challenging period during which low wholesale market prices threatened the survival of nuclear power plants (NPPs). From 2017 to 2019, several U.S. states initiated out-of-market support schemes to bolster the financial conditions of NPPs. This paper...

The European electricity system enters the winter of 2022-2023 facing challenges such as reduced availability of French nuclear power, lower than average stored hydro energy and possible gas shortages in the power industry. These challenges limit the amount of energy available to the system...

In this survey paper, we bring together the insights from six country case studies on decommissioning commercial nuclear power plants (NPPs). Nuclear decommissioning has often been overlooked in past literature but will gain relevance in future research as more and more NPPs reach the ends of...
