탈탄소화된 미국 전기시스템에서 원자력의 미래 역할(Nuclear Power’s Future Role in a Decarbonized U.S. Electricity System)
본 보고서는 기존 원자력 기술과 차세대 원자력 기술의 역할에 대해 설명하고 있습니다.
Nuclear power has played an important role throughout the history of the U.S. electric sector, but its future role is uncertain. Most nuclear power plants in the United States have been operating for 30 to 50 years, typically with high-capacity factors and minimal fluctuations in their output due to their low short-run marginal costs. At the end of July 2022, in-service U.S. nuclear power plants totaled approximately 95 GW of capacity (EIA 2022).
