“Nuclear Turns Fashionable”
Small Modular Reactors (
SMR
) are the new nuclear craze, especially with the
U.S.
Congress, as America’s representatives see SMRs as a big answer to energy needs and reduction of greenhouse gases, advertised as a green deal for clean energy that skirts the heavy costs of paying the Middle East billions upon billions. However, the devil in the details is dangerously overlooked. by Robert Hunziker • published 27 May 2023 Notable nuclear accidents:

Why a new era for

nuclear looks unlikely
Evidence suggests the Inflation Reduction Act and the advent of small modular reactors is unlikely to lead to a

nuclear resurgence in the medium term. by Nick Ferris • 26 May 2023 April 2023 marked a big moment for
US
nuclear power: the country’s first new reactor in three decades – Unit 3 at the Vogtle Nuclear Plant in the state of Georgia – began supplying electricity to the grid. Both Units 3 and 4 – which is scheduled to come online by Q1 2024 – are the

八張圖看世界核能產業報告:數據駁斥核能復興,核電成本增加36%
“正在興建中的核能反應爐至少有一半遭遇延宕,2021年初計畫併網的16座反應爐,僅有6座如期完成;而在小型模組化反應爐(
SMR
)的部分,過去數年並沒有取得重大進展,且有證據表明
SMR
可能面臨重大經濟挑戰。” 丁肇九 • 18 April 2023 日前綠色公民行動聯盟(綠盟)公布了《2022年世界核能產業現況報告》摘要的中文版,並邀請學者針對報告提出觀察評析。這份國際報告藉由分析全球核能產業長期發展的實際數據,指出全球核電已過高峰,發電佔比逐年下降,再生能源大幅成長已超越核電。 當中綠盟特別選出六張報告原文中關鍵圖表,與彙整製作兩張表格,讓讀者一目了然世界的能源趨勢。 全球核能發展持續衰退:數據駁斥全球核能復興,呈現最新的全球能源趨勢 《2022世界核能產業現況報告》全面概述核電廠數據,包括有關反應爐運轉、發電和興建的數據。並提供有關核電、風電和太陽能裝置容量與發電量的比較數據。 在《2022年世界核能產業現況報告》指出,2021年核能全球總發電量僅佔9.8%,這是40年來的新低點,也是首次低於10%。核電全球總發電量的比例在19

Opinion: “No, nuclear power isn’t the ‘big bazooka’ climate fix you might think”
Germany’s exit from nuclear power on April 15 doesn’t single it out as a quirky anomaly or black sheep in a world otherwise enthusiastically embracing nuclear energy. by Paul Hockenos • published 24 April 2023 Germany’s exit from nuclear power on April 15 doesn’t single it out as a quirky anomaly or black sheep in a world otherwise enthusiastically embracing nuclear energy. Rather, it situates Germany firmly within the global mainstream: ever more countries are abandoning or scaling back their (...)

“China‑led Asia rises in nuclear energy development amid the ongoing energy crisis”
“If a comparison is drawn out between China and India, then the former’s nuclear power generation has increased by 11 percent and accounted for 5 percent of total electricity production in 2021. On the other hand, India’s nuclear generation has been declining since 2019 and represented 3.2 percent of total electricity production in 2021.” By Ashutosh Patki • published 2 May 2023 (Updated 3 May 2023) As the world grapples with the persisting energy crisis, China-led Asia emerges as a hub for (...)

“What now for Germany’s remaining nuclear waste?”
“Germany’s nuclear power might be gone, but nuclear waste isn’t going anywhere. The search for a location for a final repository remains a challenge.” by Jens Thurau • published 25 April 2023 Nuclear energy in Germany has been history since mid-April. At one time, up to 20 nuclear power plants fed electricity into the German grid. But all that is over now. The last three nuclear power plants ended their operations on April 15.

“Germany to turn off nuclear power, but others not ready yet”
“Germany is shutting down its last three atomic power plants this weekend after previously delaying the nuclear phaseout due to the war in Ukraine.” by Srinivas Mazumdaru • published 14 April 2023 The energy crisis sparked by the war in Ukraine forced Germany last year to extend the life of the last three nuclear power plants in the country by a few months beyond the scheduled phaseout at the end of 2022.
