Nuclear Power: Strategic Asset, Liability or Increasingly Irrelevant?
The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2018 Released
Paris, London, 4 September 2018. Nuclear power plants added a total of 7-gigawatt (
GW
) capacity to the world’s electricity grids in 2017 and the first half of 2018, a tiny fraction of the total from all sources, which is estimated at some 257
GW
(net) in 2017, including 157
GW
of renewable capacity (the largest increase ever). Over that 18-month period, six reactors started up in China, two in Russia and one in Pakistan. For the third year in a row, excluding China, global nuclear power generation has declined, finds the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2018 (

Construction of the
CAREM
-25 (Central ARgentina de Elementos Modulares) nuclear reactor began 8 February 2014 with the pouring of concrete for the base slab. After repeated delays, the 27 MWe small modular pressurized water reactor, is being built at a site next to the Atucha nuclear power plant in Lima, 110 km northwest of Buenos Aires. The reactor has been developed by the National Atomic Energy Commission (
CNEA
) and its high technology spin off company
INVAP
. According to the
