The author focuses on the role of learning effects as a driver of nuclear power plant construction during the 1960s and 1970s. The analysis provided in this book suggests that learning effects, both within individual firms and across the industry as a whole, were significant factors in reducing the costs of nuclear power plants and improving the accuracy of cost estimates. Furthermore, the author examines the role of government subsidies and concludes that, in the case of nuclear power, the value of the externality was small and limited primarily to the first commercial-sized plant.
