18 July 2015 SeeNews (Bulgaria): Report says 45% of global population uses more renewables than nuclear Report says 45% of global population uses more renewables than nuclear Jul 16, 2015 11:22 CEST by Tsvetomira Tsanova July 16 (SeeNews) - Brazil, China, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands and Spain already produce more power from non-hydro renewables than from nuclear power plants, says the The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2015. These countries represent 45% of global population. It is also important to mention that in 2014 renewable power generation, including (…)
17 July 2015 Asia Outlook (UK): Renewable Energy Overtakes Nuclear among Asia’s Economic Elite Renewable Energy Overtakes Nuclear among Asia’s Economic Elite A report has found that renewables are now outpacing nuclear in some of the world’s largest economies Asia Outlook Solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy - besides hydro-electric dams - now supply more electricity than nuclear in Japan, China, India and five other major economies accounting for about half the world’s population, an atomic industry report shows. While nuclear stations on average produce arond (…)
17 July 2015 Les Echos (France): Le marché mondial du nucléaire toujours à la peine Le marché mondial du nucléaire toujours à la peine Anne Feitz | 15/07/2015 Le nombre de réacteurs en exploitation est inférieur à son niveau de 2010, selon un nouveau rapport. Le marché mondial du nucléaire s’est stabilisé l’an dernier, mais il reste en net déclin comparé à 2010. Le nouveau rapport « The World Nuclear Industry », publié ce mercredi par les consultants Mycle Schneider et Antony Froggatt, montre que le nombre de réacteurs nucléaires en exploitation est toujours très (…)
17 July 2015 Tagesanzeiger (Switzerland): 54 Atommeiler sind älter als 40 Jahre 54 Atommeiler sind älter als 40 Jahre Weil kaum noch AKW gebaut werden, altern die Meiler weltweit. Besonders betagt sind sie in der Schweiz, wie ein exklusiver Bericht zeigt. Tagesanzeiger, 15 July 2015 Stefan Häne Fehlt der Nachwuchs, vergreist eine Gesellschaft, die Gebrechen nehmen allgemein zu – und damit die Kosten, um diese zu bekämpfen. Diese Formel gilt auch für Atomkraftwerke. In den 80er-Jahren, der Hochblüte des atomaren Zeitalters, gingen pro Jahr teilweise mehr als 30 (…)
13 June 2015 Renewables International (Germany): France begins nuclear bailout Policy France begins nuclear bailout Renewables International, 10 June 2015 Last week, the French government announced plans to inject cash into Areva, the firm that constructs nuclear plants in the country. It is a desperate attempt to ward off the inevitable: bankruptcy. The French nuclear power sector has always been a top priority for government officials ever since the practically forgotten (and failed) Messmer Plan of the early 1970s. With few orders for nuclear reactors on the (…)
21 May 2015 Ecologist (UK): Finland cancels Olkiluoto 4 nuclear reactor ‑ is the EPR finished? Finland cancels Olkiluoto 4 nuclear reactor - is the EPR finished? Dr Jim Green & Oliver Tickell The Ecologist, 15^th May 2015 This week Finland cancelled its option for a second European Pressurised Reactor as the existing EPR project sinks into a abyss of cost over-runs, delays and litigation, writes Jim Green. It now looks like the EPR is a failed technology and its owner, French nuclear giant Areva, is fast running out of both money and orders as its ’hot prospects’ evaporate. (…)
19 May 2015 Breaking Energy (USA): Japan’s ‘Unholy Trinity’ – Nuclear Power Must Join Renewables to Move Emissions Reduction Needle Japan’s ‘Unholy Trinity’ – Nuclear Power Must Join Renewables to Move Emissions Reduction Needle Breaking Energy By Roman Kilisek on May 19, 2015 at 12:00 PM The Asahi Shimbun reported in March on the decision of four big Japanese electric utilities to decommission a total of five nuclear reactors that have been in operation for more than 40 years. Respective plans have been submitted to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). “This is the first application of the (…)
19 May 2015 The Conversation (USA): Where will nuclear power plants of the future be built? Where will nuclear power plants of the future be built? The Conversation, 18 May 2015 Paul Dorfman, UCL This article is part of The Conversation’s worldwide series on the Future of Nuclear. You can read the rest of the series here. Nuclear power has had a makeover. What was once seen as a futuristic source of limitless energy has been reframed as a response to global warming, an ideal solution for countries looking for a continuous source of low-carbon power. But who are these (…)
4 May 2015 IEEE‑Spectrum (USA): The Forgotten History of Small Nuclear Reactors The Forgotten History of Small Nuclear Reactors IEEE-Spectrum, 27 April 2015 By M.V.Ramana Economics killed small nuclear power plants in the past—and probably will keep doing so A tantalizing proposition has taken hold again in the nuclear industry: that small nuclear reactors have economic and other advantages over the standard-size ones being built today. The idea is that by reducing the substantial financial risk of a full-scale nuclear project, small reactors are the best option (…)
