Summary/Abstract: New technical safety requirements for the future NPP have been set after the Fukushima accident in 2011. This has led to costs increase and new models for NPP construction financing. Along with these models the article discusses technical problems associated with the building of a financial model to determine the financial viability of a project for a new NPP construction, and the decision to be made in defining its main parameters. The outcomes of the study have direct implications and applications that may be used in studies and decision for constructing NPP Belene.Keywords: financing, financial models, nuclear power plant.
