 note = {Technical Report, This paper aims to discuss the problem of nuclear power generation from
the viewpoint of the economics of risk and uncertainty. Although we have experienced
the two major nuclear disasters, Chernobyl and Fukushima, in recent times, it is quite
unfortunate that risk-economic studies in nuclear power generation have been
extremely rare so far. This may show intentional neglect in the academic circle. The
purpose of this paper is to duly mend such a regrettable tendency. Before 11 March
2011, there were many people who more or less believed in the myth of absolute safety.
The Great East Japan Earthquake, however, has completely changed their concept of
risk for nuclear power generation, thus requiring the need to take a new risk-economic
approach to nuclear energy. As saying goes, we can learn new lessons in old teachings:
we have to reexamine the economics of J.M. Keynes and Frank Knight.
There are many possibilities for future research., CRR Discussion Paper, Series A, No. A-23, pp. 1-26},
