How much can nuclear power reduce climate mitigation cost? – Critical parameters and sensitivity

Although large scale nuclear power deployment can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, potential for nuclear power to reduce climate mitigation cost is not well understood. We use an energy system model to estimate the relative savings in mitigation costs enabled by nuclear power as well as their robust...
