Net Salvage Value
In price regulated industries, the salvage value may be a negative value because it includes the net cash outflow in removing the asset from where it was used. For example, nuclear energy plants must store the nuclear waste at the end of their useful life. This cost is a contributing factor in the salvage value. In such a case, the net salvage value is zero. See also: Absolute physical life, Obsolescence.
