タイトル（英文）

A SURVEY AND ANALYSIS OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTLICENSING REFORMS IN THE U.S.,FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY,AND FRANCE

概要 （図表や脚注は「報告書全文」に掲載しております）

原子力高度化時代を迎えて，原子力発電の安全性・信頼性のみならず，その経済性向上が重要な問題となるなかで，原子力発電所の標準化や諸手続きの効率化などの制度面での改善が要求されてきている。アメリカや西ドイツなどの諸外国においても，原子力開発の遅延を解決するために許認可制度の合理化が必要不可欠な法的措置とみなされ，諸施策が実施に移されつつある。本研究は，わが国における原子力施設の諸手続き改善策の検討に資するために，アメリカ・西ドイツ・フランスにおける許認可制度合理化の動向とそれによるコスト低減効果を調査・分析したものである。

概要 （英文）

THIS PAPER EXAMINES THE REACTOR PLANT LICENSING AND LICENCING REFORM PROGRAMS IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE REAL AND POTENTIAL COST REDUCTION OPPORTUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH LICENSING REFORM. SINCE 1981,THE U.S.DEVELOPED MOMENTUM TO INTRODUCE LWR LICENSING REFORM LEGISLATION IN THE CONGRESS.IN THE EARLY STAGES,IT WAS REALIZED THAT SPECIFIC COST REDUCTION OPPORTUNITIES WERE DIFFICULT TO QUANTIFY,PARTLY BECAUSE THE UTILITY COMPANIES ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS DID NOT APPROPRIATELY IDENTIFY COST DUE TO LICENSING REQUIREMENTS.DURING THE RECENT PERIOD IN WHICH LICENSING REFORM CONCEPTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED,THE UTILITIES HAVE CREATED ESTIMATES OF REGULATORY COSTS.TWO LEGISLATIVE REFORM PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN PRESENTED BY DOE AND NRC.FOR THE PURPOSE OF COST REDUCTION ASSESSMENT,THE TWO PROPOSALS MAYBE CONSIDERED SIMILAR.THE DOE PROPOSAL HAS BEEN ANALYSED WITH RESPECT TO THE COST AND TIME REDUCTION POTENTIAL OF EACH OF THE REFORM ITEMS AND OF THE COMBINATION OF THEM. IT IS UNCERTAIN WHETHER A U.S.LICENSING REFORM BILL WILL PASS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.EVENIF THE PROPOSALS DEVELOPED BY DOE AND NRC DO NOT RESULT IN NEW LEGISLATION,THEY ARE IMPORTANT IN THAT ESTABLISH A NEW REFERENCE FOR NUCLEAR REGULATORY REFORM CONSIDERATIONS.BOTH PROPOSALS DEAL SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE CONCEPT OF STANDARDIZED DESIGN. WE SHOULD NOTE THAT THERE IS NO INDUSTRY WIDE STANDARD DESIGN CONCEPT IN THE U.S. WHILE THE U.S. IS MAKINGITS POLITICAL MOVES TO CREATE A LICENSING REFORM ENVIRONMENT,THE F.R.G. AND FRANCE ARE IN THE MIDST OF OR HAVE COMPLETED THEIR REFORM PROGRAMS.
