FOREWORD

This reference book reviews the main features and problems or difficulties involved 
in the financing of nuclear power projects with special reference to developing 
countries. It provides basic information and advice to developing countries 
interested in nuclear power projects as part of their power sector planning.
The book outlines the general characteristics of financing a nuclear power project 
and presents innovative approaches for power generation financing. It discusses the 
special conditions and requirements of nuclear power projects and their financing 
complexities. The focus is on the practical issues that need to be dealt with in 
order to successfully finance these power projects, as well as the constraints faced 
by most developing countries. Possible ways and means of dealing with these 
constraints are presented. The main topics covered by the book are the:

- Special circumstances related to the financing of nuclear power projects.
- Costs and economic feasibility of nuclear power plants.
- Conventional approaches for financing power generation projects in
developing countries.
- Experience gained and lessons learned,
- Alternative approaches for mobilizing financial resources.

A recurring theme in the book is how the problems and difficulties associated with 
the need for more foreign exchange in many developing countries can be solved, 
and the inadequacy and complexity of the present international financing system 
for supporting financing requirements in the magnitude needed for a nuclear power 
project. Alternative approaches should be considered to overcome constraints on 
financing nuclear power projects in many developing countries. However, it appears 
that new financing approaches in the power generation sector have not yet proved 
to be successful for nuclear power.
