The nuclear energy presents large part of electricity production in Slovenia and European Union (EU). The production of electricity in nuclear power plants (NPP) emits only small amount of greenhouse gasses, compared to other technologies and is very competitive in price. Several countries plan to extend the life time of their NPP, although after t...

The paper presents the results of a numerical study of the fracture of concrete structures — the protective shell of a nuclear power plant (NPP), under impulse loads. The model of concrete behavior takes into account differences in the limits of compressive and tensile strength, dependence of tensile strengths on the strain rate, plastic properties...

The importance of performing Level 3 probabilistic safety assessments (PSA) along with a general interest in assessing multi-unit risk has been sharply increasing after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP) accident. However, relatively few studies on multi-unit Level 3 PSA have been performed to date, reflecting limited scenarios of mult...

... The second important reason for building nuclear power plants in Poland is the expectation of positive economic effects, both nationally and regionally. Public and private sector analyses, as well as scientific research, provide numerous estimations regarding the economic benefits of launching a nuclear power plant [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Similar information can also be derived from the opposite analyses of nuclear phase-out [19][20][21][22][23][24]. ...
... GDP benefits are visible mostly at the national level and are derived from the cheaper electricity produced by the power plant and the economic activity of new and existing firms related-whether directly or indirectly-to the construction of the power plant and its operation, as well as the whole new nuclear energy sector. For example, estimations for the 1600 MWe power plant in Slovenia indicate contribution to the national GDP of 2.2% for the construction phase and 0.5% for operational one [13]. At the regional level, large nuclear power plant (5900 MWe) operation and construction may contribute even 70% to the regional output and 20% to the regional income, as it was in case of Korea [26]. ...

Poland is the most coal-dependent economy and one of the biggest polluters in the EU. In order to alleviate this problem, meet CO2 emission requirements set by EU, and improve the country's energy security, Poland decided to introduce nuclear power to its energy mix. So far, several potential locations for nuclear power plants have been officially proposed, mainly based on technical parameters, but no comparisons of the economic impact of such locations have been considered. Consequently, the main goal of this paper is to compare the national and regional economic effects of investments in nuclear power plants-for both the construction and exploitation phases-in the four most probable locations, which are similarly beneficial from a technical point of view. In order to simulate these effects, the spatial recursive dynamic Computable General Equilibrium model was calibrated until 2050 including agglomeration effects and featuring the regional economies of all Polish regions. The results show that although the construction phase is beneficial for economic development in all four regions, the exploitation phase is good for only one. The economies of the other regions suffer, to a greater or lesser extent, from the Dutch disease. The paper argues that the regional economic effects of such an investment differ significantly, due to differences in the regions' economic structures; hence, they should always be taken into account in the final decisions on the power plants' locations.
