19 January 2020 Oilprice.com / Yahoo Finance (UK/US) Is This The Death Knell For Nuclear? By Haley Zaremba - Jan 18, 2020, 2:00 PM CST It’s nearly impossible to discuss climate change and the future of the energy industry without discussing nuclear energy. Nuclear energy produces zero carbon emissions, it’s ultra-efficient, it’s already in widespread use, and could be scaled up to meet much more of our global energy needs with relative ease, but it is, and will likely always be, an extremely divisive solution. For all its virtues, nuclear energy certainly has its fair share of (...)
16 January 2020 Climate News Network (UK) Nuclear power ‘cannot rival renewable energy Far from tackling climate change, nuclear power is an expensive distraction whose safety is threatened by wildfires and floods, experts say.

5 January 2020 [de] Der Spiegel (Germany) Drei Gründe, warum Frankreich nicht von der Atomkraft lässt Neue AKW geplant Eigentlich galt die französische Atomindustrie als erledigt, weil: zu teuer, unzeitgemäß. Doch jetzt will Paris neue Kernkraftwerke in Auftrag geben - und provoziert so Streit mit dem EU-Partner Deutschland. Von Georg Blume, Paris – Freitag, 03.01.2020 19:19 Uhr Es war in den letzten Jahren ruhig geworden um Frankreichs einst so heftig kritisierte wie gepriesene Atomindustrie. Es schien, als würde sich die einst weltweit beachtete Vorzeigebranche mit der Zeit von selbst erledigen - durch (...)
5 January 2020 East Anglian Daily Times (UK) Could escalating costs mean ’game over’ for nuclear power and Sizewell C? PUBLISHED: 17:15 03 January 2020 Andrew Hirst An artist’s impression of what Sizewell C would look like Picture: EDF “The growing cost of nuclear power could mean ’game over’ for Sizewell C, experts claim.” While much of the debate in Suffolk around EDF Energy’s proposals have focussed on the local impacts, recent reports from energy forums have started to question how viable the industry is for the UK - and globally. At a recent debate, Paul Dorfman of the University College London’s Energy (...)
1 January 2020 [fr] Le Monde (France) « Où court le nucléaire français : vers la guérison ou à sa perte ? » L’histoire montre que toute réussite en matière de nucléaire civil repose sur deux conditions qui ne sont plus réunies : un volontarisme politique et une opinion publique accordant du crédit à l’expertise, explique, dans sa chronique, Jean-Michel Bezat, journaliste au « Monde ».

1 January 2020 [fr] Les Echos (France) 2010‑2019 De Fukushima à Flamanville, la décennie noire du nucléaire LE BILAN DE LA DECENNIE L’accident de Fukushima a fait momentanément vaciller la filière nucléaire. Mais ses vraies difficultés sont avant tout économiques et industrielles. Par Hortense GOULARD Publié le 25 déc. 2019 à 9h00 - Mis à jour le 26 déc. 2019 à 13h04 On n’a pas fini d’entendre parler de Fukushima. Près de neuf ans après l’accident, qui a eu lieu le 11 mars 2011, le gouvernement japonais tente de convaincre les personnes qui habitaient jadis dans la zone contaminée d’y revenir. La (...)
24 September 2019 Reuters Nuclear energy too slow, too expensive to save climate: report BUDAPEST/PARIS (Reuters) - Nuclear power is losing ground to renewables in terms of both cost and capacity as its reactors are increasingly seen as less economical and slower to reverse carbon emissions, an industry report said. In mid-2019, new wind and solar generators competed efficiently against even existing nuclear power plants in cost terms, and grew generating capacity faster than any other power type, the annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR) showed. “Stabilizing the (...)
12 September 2019 Reuters (UK/France) French regulator puts EDF Flamanville nuclear plant on safety watch PARIS (Reuters) - French nuclear regulator ASN said it has put EDF’s Flamanville 1 and 2 reactors under increased surveillance following a series of shortcomings in maintenance and contractor oversight. SEPTEMBER 11, 2019 / 10:54 AM By Geert De Clercq The ASN’s action is the latest in a long series of technical and operational issues that have bedevilled EDF in recent months and raised new concerns about the state-controlled utility’s safety culture. The regulator said in a statement there (...)
19 August 2019 Power Technology (UK) Too expensive, too dangerous: the accusations tightening the noose around nuclear power Despite nuclear power offering a clean, reliable source of energy, sub-optimal finances and devastating accidents have made many sceptical of the benefits of the energy source. JP Casey speaks to Shaun Burnie, senior nuclear specialist at Greenpeace Germany to learn about the organisation’s long-standing opposition to nuclear power, and whether the power source could play a role in the world’s future energy mix. 12 AUGUST 2019 By JP Casey Nuclear power has long been touted as a solution to (...)
