A timely contribution and incisive analysis, this is the story of
the British experiment in privatizing the nuclear power industry
and its subsequent financial collapse. It tells how the UK's
pioneering role in nuclear power led to bad technology choices, a
badly flawed restructuring of the electricity industry and the end
of government support for nuclear power. In this volume Simon
Taylor has combined interviews with former executives, regulators
and analysts with his own unique insight into the nuclear industry
to provide an analysis of the origins of the crisis and the
financial and corporate strategies used by British Energy plc.
Arguing that the stock market was a major factor in the company's
collapse by misunderstanding its finances, over-valuing the shares
and giving wrong signals to management and that the government
policy of trying to put all responsibility for nuclear liabilities
in the hands of the private sector was neither credible nor
realistic. The book concludes that failure was not inevitable but
resulted from a mixture of internal and external causes that casts
doubt on the policy of combining a wholly nuclear generator with
liberalized power markets. This book will be of great interest to
students engaged with the history of nuclear power in the UK,
privatization, regulation and financial and corporate strategy, as
well as experts, policy makers and strategists in the field.
