The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Learning or Lock-In: Optimal Technology Policies to Support Mitigation (2011, background): “A negative learning rate can also be justified by increasing scarcities (uranium, gas, carbon dioxide storage capacities for CCS) or increasing safety standards which raised capital costs for nuclear power plants in the past (Du and Parsons, 2009).”
Historical construction costs of global nuclear power reactors (2016, unknown): “We use IEEJ survey results for 56 reactors, and corroborate the IEEJ data with partial data from IAEA (1963), Marshall and Navarro (1991), and Du and Parsons (2009), supplementing cost data for four more reactors to cover all 60 reactors in Japan.”
Deregulation, Consolidation, and Efficiency: Evidence from U.S. Nuclear Power (2012, background): “…itself, the other important inputs for nuclear power production are fuel and labor, each accounting for about 10% of the total cost of nuclear power.12 12 Du and Parsons (2009), Table 6C, reports the valuation of cost cash flows at a nuclear power plant by project year and expenditure category.”
Pricing offshore wind power (2011, background): “Some authors use purchasing power parity measures to adjust for this (Du and Parsons, 2009), while Hagerman et al. (2010) advocate bottom-up cost estimates that take account of labor cost differences.”
