This paper summarizes important differences among a number of studies that estimate the externalities of fuel cycles1. All of these studies essentially define externalities to be health, environmental, or other damages (or benefits) that affect the well being of third parties. Table 1 lists the studies that this paper reviews. The paper focuses on the first seven; and alludes briefly to the last two of these studies (California Energy Commission and Northern States Power).
