| Research Abstract |
In this study, we developed an economic evaluation model for projects of nuclear power replacements in a framework with respect to a theory of investment decision under uncertainty. We showed how uncertainties affect a decommissioning time for existing plant and an installation one for new plant. In addition, it turned out that as uncertainties become large, opportunities of dismantling and refurbishment decrease and an opportunity of replacement increases.
