radiotoxicity (Sv/Bq). In addition the whole fuel cycle for nuclear energy must be
included. Therefore a comparison is only possible on the basis of collective dose
equivalents. On this basis it was shown that coal fired plants on a 1 GW(e)
year
basis cause about equal collective doses compared to the whole nuclear fuel cycle
of Light Water Reactors (including uranium mining, uranium fuel fabrication,
uranium enrichment, the nuclear power plant and spent fuel reprocessing) [
