Exploitation of energy sources for generating electricity should be studies and performed carefully. In this paper, a tec hni c to reduce the initial cost of electricity generation and the suitable si z e of nuclear power plant are studies. The revenue requirement is applied in the study by taking into account of some economic assumtions. The result obtained will be a trend for planning the nuclear energy for electricity generating for Thailand in the future. From the study, By determining the cost of power plant at 1 200 MW. It can be found that, the costs of nuclear power plant i s cheaper about 30 % than the coal-fired plant. The plant should be separated into small size, for instance , 4x300 MW, to get more reliability.
