1. Purpose

The main object of this course is to review the essential aspects and the methodology of the evaluation process required by the implementation of nuclear power projects. The course will give a review of the methodology and results of the IAEA nuclear power market survey in 14 developing countries and discuss the implications of the results with particular reference to the ECAFE countries. It will stress the programming efforts and economio commitments involved in each stage of the evaluation and decision- making process in establishing a nuclear power programme, i.e. nuclear power surveys, nuclear power plant feasibility studies, selection of site and reactor plant types, preparation of bid documents and bid evaluation. Special attention will be given to regulatory and organizational requirements and to the need for trained staff at various levels in national authorities and eleotricity-generating utilities.
