Review background for prospect of nuclear power
Using 2012 IAEA prospect
Assuming 4 units as low development and 8 units as high development , on permanent closing of aged nuclear power plant per year
Applying the 0.85-0.9 of operational capacity to additional units required
10~20 units getting older than 30 years of its lifespan per year
Trend to extend the lifespan of expired nuclear power plant for more than 20 years in most of nations including US
One-third of lifespan-expired nuclear power plant facilities closing down permanently
