Such a delay, he said, may see an huge amount of extra carbon emissions from fossil fuel power sources. His verdict comes as China this month set new guaranteed tariffs for nuclear power. PV Magazine, 18 April 2019 EMILIANO BELLINI Claiming nuclear power plants emit zero or near-zero CO² is a false assumption refuted (...)
