The development of any energy system, including nuclear, is a lengthy and multi-stage process. To evaluate the outlook, many significant factors outside the nuclear energy system and the uncertainty of future avenues of macroeconomic development must be taken into account. This task requires a multi-criteria approach to the analysis of the competitiveness of the technology using criteria that combine economic and safety indicators, environmental impacts, realization risks, and development outlook. This article reports the results of a multi-criteria systems analysis of alternative scenarios for the development of nuclear energy in Russia performed using international assessment tools.
