Most of electricity is produced by turbines, turned by steam from thermal generators that heating water to steam by burning different fuel, such as coal, natural gas and nuclear fuel. This paper proposed three scenarios to analyze the impact of nuclear power plant on the Egyptian electric grid from price, carbon dioxide emission, water consumption and fossil fuel consumption. The low scenario introduces the electricity generated without any nuclear plant. The basic scenario studies the expectation of the government program to 2030 that indicates the impact of first nuclear plant. We proposed the high scenario to study the impact of the nuclear power in 2030 as a double expectation of basic scenario. Wide applications of clean energy and those agreements for air environmental protection becomes an important target for the world. Analysis of the different energy resources and electricity generation fuels indicates that the nuclear energy is important for the poor fossil countries.
