Abstract
The country's energy and water sectors are facing two major challenges, such as rising consumption of energy and increasing water demands, this paper explores the economic potential of using nuclear desalination in oil-based Saudi Arabia. The evaluation of the economics of fossil-based and nuclear-based desalination systems were presented considering data previously presented about nuclear desalination in the literature, previous experiences in other countries and the IAEA modelling tool (DEEP). Results of this study are thus expected to be a source of information for policy decisions.
