  • Abstract
    In the late 1970s, the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) funded a programme of research at the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU), University of Sussex, England, directed at a detailed examination of the economics of nuclear power. As part of this programme, SPRU undertook a comparative statistical analysis of reactor operating performance. The author presents the results of this study into the comparative economics of nuclear power, and examines the effect these results will have on the proposed privatisation of the UK´s electricity supply industry
