Citigroup, November 2009, 'New Nuclear - the Economics Say No: UK Green Lights New Nuclear – Or Does It?', https://www.citigroupgeo.com/pdf/SEU27102.pdf

Nuclear power station developers face five big risks: Planning, Construction, Power Price, Operational, and Decommissioning. Three of the risks faced by developers — Construction, Power Price, and Operational — are so large and variable that individually they could each bring even the largest utility company to its knees financially. This makes new nuclear a unique investment proposition for utility companies.
