nuclear power plant operation cost
NOMES® (Nuclear Operating and Maintenance Expense Survey)
The Nuclear Operating and Maintenance Expense Survey is an HGP registered trade-marked database covering the key performance parameters for the 103 operating commercial nuclear units in the United States.
Each of the nuclear power plant operation cost has been assigned to one of seven peer groups based on objective characteristics (such as the commercial operating date, size in MWe and NSSS type).
Additional or custom peer groups can be developed for performance issues such as steam generators or regulatory performance.
HGP updates the database of nuclear power plant operation cost on an ongoing basis, and provides its active clients access to the database.
HGP's Objective Criteria for Peer Group Selection
- Reactor Type (BWR/PWR)
- Commercial Operation Date (COD)
- Size of Unit (MWe)
