Three takeaways from the 2020 World Nuclear Industry Status Report
The size of the global nuclear fleet has been stagnant for 30 years, and last year was no different. According to the 2020 World Nuclear Industry Status Report, released Thursday, there were 408 nuclear reactors online across the world as of July 1, 2020—a decline of nine units since the middle of last year and roughly on par with the number of reactors in operation in 1988. The size of the global nuclear fleet has been stagnant for 30 years, and last year was no different. According to the (...)

L’énergie renouvelable a “mieux résisté” à la pandémie que le nucléaire
La production d’énergies renouvelables a progressé en pleine pandémie de Covid-19, résistant mieux que celle liée au nucléaire, qui a reculé face à une baisse de la demande, souligne un rapport diffusé jeudi. Au 1er trimestre 2020, “le déploiement et la production d’énergies renouvelables ont mieux résisté aux effets de la pandémie (...) que le secteur de l’énergie nucléaire”, a relevé l’édition 2020 du World Nuclear Industry Status Report, un rapport annuel consacré au sujet. La production d’énergies (...)
