-Nuclear Energy Institute, February 2015, "Nuclear Power Plants Benefit State and Local Economies," http://www.nei.org/Master-Document-Folder/Backgrounders/Fact-Sheets/Nuclear-Power-Plants-Contribute-Significantly-to-S, The estimates in this fact sheet are based on normalized averages from analyses of the economic and employment impact of 23 U.S. nuclear plants. The figures are calculated per megawatt (MW) of installed capacity and reflect a nominal 1,000-MW plant size. The analyses employ the IMPLAN model for estimating direct and indirect economic and employment effects. |
