U.K., Joining Trend, Sees Nuclear as Key to Cut Carbon Emissions
Britain’s plan for net-zero carbon output by 2050 includes new nuclear investments, with China, France and India also expanding production By Max Colchester, Jennifer Hiller and Paul Vieira Published 19 October 2021 The
U.K.
said Tuesday that nuclear power would play an important role in underpinning its plan to cut greenhouse-gas emissions, joining a growing group of countries turning back to atomic energy as they consider how to wean themselves off fossil fuels. The announcement comes as (...)

Ces pays qui continuent à miser sur le nucléaire
Parmi la cinquantaine de projets en cours, la majorité se trouve en Asie, principalement dans des Etats déjà équipés. Par Perrine Mouterde et Adrien Pécout Publié le 18 Novembre 2021 Mars 2011 : catastrophe de Fukushima, au Japon. Deux mois plus tard, Angela Merkel tient compte de l’émoi mondial. Cette année-là, la chancelière allemande décide d’accélérer la sortie du nucléaire, déjà envisagée au début des années 2000 et finalement prévue outre-Rhin pour 2022. A l’inverse, d’autres pays ont poursuivi leurs (...)

‘Fantasy PowerPoint Designs’ Won’t Deliver Nuclear Power in Time to Solve Climate Change
Governments have no time to waste on “fantasy PowerPoint designs” of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) that could never be built in time to save humanity from the climate crisis, says the author of an annual status report on the world nuclear industry. By Paul Brown Published 7 October 2021 Governments have no time to waste on “fantasy PowerPoint designs” of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) that could never be built in time to save humanity from the climate crisis, says the author of (...)

Die Welt produziert immer weniger Atomstrom
Die Nuklearindustrie sieht die Kernenergie als Option gegen den Klimawandel und erwartet einen Aufschwung. Die nackten Zahlen zeigen aber ein ganz anderes Bild. von Martin Läubli am 1. Oktober 2021 Kleine Rolle beim Klimaschutz Die Nuklearindustrie sieht die Kernenergie als Option gegen den Klimawandel und erwartet einen weltweiten Aufschwung. Die nackten Zahlen eines neuen Statusberichts zeigen aber ein ganz anderes Bild. Es macht den Eindruck, als ob die Stimme der Nuklearindustrie (...)

Four takeaways from the 2021 World Nuclear Industry Status Report
By Dawn Stover Published 1 October 2021 Although there are 23 fewer nuclear reactors in the world today than at the 2002 peak of 438, the past year saw a small uptick in the number of reactors operating worldwide and a corresponding increase in the global fleet’s net operating capacity. That’s one data point in the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2021, the latest in a series of annual industry reports compiled by an international team of independent experts led by Mycle Schneider, a (...)

Klimawandel stoppt Atomkraft
Die Kernenergie ist laut einem aktuellen Bericht weltweit weiter auf dem Rückzug Von Kurt Stenger am 29. September 2021 Im Jahr 2020 ist die Stromerzeugung aus der Kernenergie so stark zurückgegangen wie nie zuvor. Das geht aus dem »World Nuclear Industry Status Report« hervor, der am Dienstag bei einer Pressekonferenz in Washington vorgestellt wurde. So fiel die
AKW
-Stromerzeugung um vier Prozent, während die erneuerbaren Energien ohne Wasserkraft um 13 Prozent zulegten. Gleichzeitig hat die (...)

En déclin, le nucléaire distancé par les renouvelables
En 2020, la production d’électricité nucléaire dans le monde a diminué, selon un rapport tout juste paru. Les réacteurs vieillissants ne sont pas remplacés assez vite, tandis que les énergies renouvelables sont de plus en plus compétitives. par Hervé Kempf Publié le 29 Septembre 2021 La France, ou du moins les partis de droite, de M. Macron à M. Zemmour, s’accroche-t-elle désespérément à une industrie du passé
? C’est ce qu’on peut penser en lisant le World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2021, un rapport de (...)

The Countries With the Most Nuclear Reactors
by Katharina Buchholz Published 29 September 2021 According to the 2021 World Nuclear Industry Status Report, global nuclear power generation dropped 3.9 percent in 2020 despite a 4.4 percent climb in China, where two new reactors were added. In 2021, 415 reactors were operational around the world - 22 fewer than in 2011. Another 26 are currently in long-term storage and 53 are under construction - around half in China and India. The rapid expansion of renewables and negative public (...)
