As compared to conventional NGCC plant, the fuel
expense of NNCC plant is nearly half of that of the NGCC
because the higher price of natural gas, which is approximately
around 0.06–0.08 USD/kWh in electricity cost, compared
to nuclear fuel expense of about 0.005 USD/kWh in
China. Therefore, the risk from unpredictable but increasing
gas price can be minimized by adding nuclear power to the
NGCC system.
