FOREWORD

Most OECD countries have undertaken or are planning to initiate a reform of 
the electricity market. In particular, governments are placing emphasis on market 
mechanisms to improve economic performance in the power sector. The shift from 
an economically regulated environment to open competition will likely have 
specific impacts on the nuclear industry owing to the important role that 
governments have traditionally played in this field.

In this context, the NEA Committee for Technical and Economic Studies on Nuclear 
Energy Development and the Fuel Cycle (NDC) initiated a study on nuclear power in 
competitive electricity markets. This study, focusing on relevant policy issues 
raised by economic deregulation for various stakeholders in the nuclear power field, 
complements the activities of the Committee on various economic aspects of 
nuclear energy.

The study was conducted by a group of experts from twelve Member countries and 
three international organisations. It covers aspects that are relevant for existing 
and future nuclear power plants, and highlights key issues for the consideration of 
analysts and policy makers in governmental bodies and the industry.
