| Abstract: | The results of a literature review of a specific utility planning issues, the decommissioning of civilian nuclear power plants at the end of their useful operating lives, are presented. Major decommissioning studies are reviewed, using the standard framework of technology assessment. In particular, each study is analysed to determine the degree to which formal methods of decision analysis have been employed to evaluate options and make recommendations and the degree to which formal methods of consensus have been employed to engage citizen involvement and promote public acceptance. Not unexpectedly, it is found that the greatest strides in decommissioning analyses have been made in forecasting the economic costs. |
