Demand for electricity in Vietnam is expected to increase rapidly at annual growth rate of 10.2% during the next twenty years. In order to meet the electricity demand of up to 160 TWh in 2020, the power sector must plan properly for the future development of its generation system. In this study, among other available energy resources, nuclear energy is considered as an important option in the Vietnam's power sector during the period 2000- 2020. This study carries out a long-term generation expansion planning exercises using Wien Automatic System Planning (WASP-IV). Although nuclear power plant is capital intensive but it is found to be economically cost-effective as a base load plants of 1,200 MW in earliest 2008. In this study, the Advanced Pressurize Reactor - 600MW (APW6) power plant is considered as a potential CDM project. In the long-term perspective, nuclear-based power generation would be indispensable and would help to meet future demand of electricity supply. The candidate CDM project was assessed from incremental cost of C02 em1ss1on mitigation in the cases of nuclear power plant as a potential CDM project. Those are all found to be smaller than that of marginal abatement cost of C02 emission in some developed countries. Incremental cost of CDM cases are found to be in between 9.5 US$ to 21.2 US$. Apart from being a potential energy supply option, nuclear energy would play an important role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The levels of greenhouse gas emissions are found to decrease with the inclusion of CDM projects (i.e., the CDM cases). The total greenhouse gas emissions in business as usual (BAU case) is 798,970 thousand tons while it varied from 734,988 thousand to 793,342 thousand tons in 2020 in the CDM cases. Total greenhouse gas emission volume accumulated during the study period in the business as usual case with nuclear option would be reduce by 8.0%, 4.8% and 2.1 %, relatively compared to the case without nuclear energy option at the same electricity demand.
