Restarting Delayed Nuclear Power Plant Projects

The restarting of nuclear power plant projects with delays of several years in respect of the original scheduled commercial operation date presents particular management issues. These are beyond the normal management tasks for projects implemented within original planned schedules. A number of restarted delayed projects were reviewed and practical experience from them is presented in this publication. It addresses specific management issues to be considered for a delayed project in the period after the decision for restarting is adopted and covers those management issues not considered within the normal processes described in other IAEA publications.
