THE AVAILABILITY OF GERMAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS IN INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON

摘要

In spite of considerable limitations, which result from the uncertainties in the definitions and from the incompleteness of the reports of unplanned shutdowns in foreign countries, a quite clear picture of the availability and the principal causes of shutdowns of nuclear power plants can be obtained in the compilation.nThe availability or the utilization of nuclear power plants up to now still lies below those of conventional power plants in all the countries considered. This statement is also valid if one considers almost only purely commercial power plants, which is already possible in the USA judging from the number.
