factor,.a.sinusoidal.graph.with.increasing.values,.which.is.obtained.for.a.ive-
year.research.cycle..The.value.cycle.increases.as.time.goes.on.because.the.NT.
research.trend.is.matured.in.the.new.academic.ield..Figure 9.9(e).shows.the.
results.for.price,.which.decreases.with.increasing.slope..This.means.that.price.
decreases.with.growth.in.the.industry..The.maximum.value.of.Figure 9.9(a).
is.312,209.in.2050..This.is.the.total.value.of.the.NT.ield..So,.the.size.of.the.
academic.and.economic.areas.is.312,209.times.the.initial.value.in.2010.
One.can.estimate.the.inancial.value.using.the.previous.calculations..The.
value.is.considered.for.the.nuclear.industry..If.this.model.is.applied.to.the.
United.States,.the.budget.of.the.Department.of.Energy.(DOE).could.be.used.
as.an.example..The.estimated.value.of.the.DOE.budget.in.2010.is.calculated.
