French Nuclear Power Plants In 2019-Dea Approach

The paper deals with the efficiency analysis of 18 French nuclear power plants in 2019. The aim is to find efficient and inefficient nuclear power plants. The efficiency analysis is based on the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA) models. This paper applies the traditional DEA model with undesirable output. The analysis considers two inputs: nominal power in megawatts, number of employees, and two outputs. The first output is undesirable - fuel in tonnes and the second is desirable output - electric energy in terawatt per hours.
