21.The Economic Future of Nuclear Power: A Study Conducted at The University of Chicago, August 2004 (Summary)

This independent study demonstrates that new nuclear power plants are competitive with other types of baseload electricity generation once first-of-a-kind engineering costs are absorbed, construction experience gained, and other near-term financing issues resolved. Read the full study

23.U.S. Department of Energy, Highway and Railway Accident Study

In 2002, the U.S. Department of Energy and its Sandia National Laboratories studied twelve highway and railway accidents suggested by the state of Nevada as potentially severe enough to compromise the integrity of used nuclear fuel transportation containers, had they been involved in the accidents. After careful analysis, DOE and Sandia found that, in fact, in all cases used nuclear fuel containers would have remained intact and that none of these accidents would have resulted in a release of radiation.

25.U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Spent Fuel Transportation Cask Response to a Tunnel Fire Scenario (Baltimore Tunnel Fire Study)

In July 2001, a derailed train carrying hazardous materials caught fire in a railroad tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland, and burned for several days. Although an accidental fire of such duration during a used nuclear fuel shipment is unlikely, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission analyzed the performance of transportation containers under these conditions. The NRC "concluded that the transportation casks analyzed would withstand a fire with thermal conditions similar to those that existed in the Baltimore tunnel fire event. No release of radioactive materials would result from exposure of the casks analyzed to such an event." A preliminary version of the study was released in 2002; this final version was completed in August 2004.
