(1) The cost of electricity generated by 54 Japanese light water reactors in 2005 is 16,466 million dollars at the supply end and is 42,682 million dollars at the demand end. (2) The nuclear market is expensive for the construction cost (2.0 cent per kWh) but cheap for the fuel cost (1.4 cent per kWh). The introduction of LWR can reduce gross amounts of fuels and then increase the gross domestic products (GDP). (3) During a nuclear cycle the emitted carbons from LWR (22g per kWh) is from one 23rd to one 44th of those from fossil power plants. The gross electricity produced in Japan in 2004 is about 8,651 TWh. Emitted carbons assuming that coal and petroleum are main carbon contributors are 7.43E08 ton. The no fossil fuels can suppress the amounts by 3.79E08 ton, where the contributing ratio of nuclear energy is 57%. An indirect effect of green technology by Japanese LWRs is estimated to be from 3,993 to 5,989 million dollars.

An effective mass processing equipment using solvent extraction method, named "emulsion flow extractor," is the most promising apparatus for removal and recovery of uranium from liquid waste originated from decontamination of uranium-contaminated fluoride waste in the uranium conversion test facility and of used gas centrifuges in the uranium enrichment facility at Ningyo-toge environmental engineering center. Prior to application of the emulsion flow extractor for actual uranium-containing liquid waste, properties of some phosphorous extractants for extraction and separation of uranium and constituents from simulated liquid wastes were examined through batch tests. These preliminary tests revealed that D2EHPA would be a promising candidate for extractant used for treatment of the actual uranium-containing liquid wastes, and that the extractants with a surfactant like AOT would not be useful.

Key to take public acceptance into account on the energy system is how to evaluate and compare quantitatively the merits and the demerits of each energy system from the public viewpoint. For this purpose, a method to evaluate the property of energy technology is developed based on the conjoint analysis technique. Based on the statistical method, utility values for energy abundance, environmental load (i.e. CO
emission), stability of supply, sense of security, and other features as well as economic performance, are estimated from several thousands of choice experiments to more than 1600 respondents volunteered in the study. The basic methodology developed in this study establishes the first step to assess energy technology quantitatively on a common standard, and needs further integration with other factors, such as waste generation other than CO emission.
