The Energy Economics Group participates in an interdisciplinary study, involving the Technology Assessment Group, the Risk and Human Reliability Group, and partners from Switzerland (ZHAW, UniBern) and abroad (E3M), to assess the opportunities and risks of new nuclear technologies in Switzerland. The study is intended to provide an overview of the state of knowledge or lack of knowledge about the GIII/III+ and GIV nuclear power generations and small modular reactors (SMRs) and to address the associated relevant technical, social, political, economic, educational and legal issues.
The study is coordinated by Dr. Peter Burgherr from the Technology Assessment Group and it is sponsored by TA-Swiss
