Description: The introduction or expansion of a nuclear power program in a country and its successful execution are largely dependent on the network of national infrastructure, covering a wide range of organizational and material activities and capabilities. The wide extent of infrastructure needs requires an investment that could be large or onerous for the national economy. The burden of infrastructure can be reduced significantly if a country forms a sharing partnership with other countries. The sharing could be organized regionally or internationally. It can include physical facilities, common programmes and knowledge, and will reflect in economic benefits. This publication provides guidance for analyzing and identifying the potential benefits of sharing nuclear power infrastructure during various stages of the nuclear power project life cycle. The target users of this publication are decision makers, advisers and senior managers in utilities, industrial organizations, regulatory bodies and governmental organizations in countries adopting or extending nuclear power programs.--Publisher's description.
