7. Nuclear projects experiencing odds amid US shale gas boom
1. Nuclear power stations in Canada and the United States are
closing because they cannot compete with cheap power being
produced from shale gas.
2. Power generation cost from shale gases obtained by fracking is
4-5 cents a kilowatt hour puts the nuclear power plant at a
competitive disadvantage as Its current production price is
9 cents a kilowatt hour and it needs a $4.3 million refurbishment .
3. In Europe the nuclear industry is reported to need a price of $155
a megawatt hour for 30 years for its electricity to get a reasonable
return on its investment, while the current price is around $93.
