Improving the management of nuclear technology: Technical, financial, and organizational measures for assessing the performance of nuclear utilities
by Elias Carayannis, Jose Maldifassi
International Journal of Global Energy Issues (IJGEI), Vol. 4, No. 3, 1992

Abstract: This paper is the outcome of a study with the objective of better understanding and improving the quality of the management of technology in the case of the nuclear power industry. The authors tried to deal with this topic in an empirical way, namely by conducting four case studies on the major nuclear power utilities in the State of New York and by doing a comparative analysis of the material collected, focusing on the main economic and organizational issues, and the management of technology practices that pertain to nuclear power generation. The study covered in depth the nuclear divisions of only four out of a total of fifty-five nuclear utilities that exist in the United States, hence we want to stress the caveat that it has an exploratory rather than a statistically conclusive nature.
