The Cost of Nuclear Power is an Iwanami Shinsho volume that tests the assumption that nuclear power is inexpensive by examining siting costs, decommissioning, accident response, and spent fuel. It argues for energy transition from the standpoint of economic rationality.

By adding up hidden costs, the book reconsiders nuclear phaseout and renewable energy transition through cost analysis.
