The European Commission's (EC's) latest Nuclear Illustrative Programme (Pinc) puts the projected cost of investments in the complete nuclear fuel cycle in the European Union (EU) for 2015 to 2050 at €650- 760bn ($738-863bn). Investment in new nuclear stations needed to replace ageing nuclear reactors to maintain a stable nuclear generation capacity over the next 35 years will amount to €350-450bn, Pinc says. Some 90% of the existing nuclear capacity will need replacing by 2050. As a low carbon technology and significant contributor to security of supply, nuclear energy is expected to remain an "important component" of the EU's energy mix in 2050, the report concludes.
