16 June 2013 Korea Times (South Korea): Wake‑up call Int’l experts give Korea’s nuclear industry reality check By Kim Da-ye Mycle Schneider, a Paris-based international energy and nuclear policy consultant, was startled by the extent the “top level decision makers” in the Korean government and nuclear industry he met were “disconnected from the international industrial reality.” “This lack of reality check is possibly the most frightening of the characteristics of this industry. Nuclear power has been on the decline for a long time,” said Schneider, the founder and author of the World Nuclear (…)
12 May 2013 Taipei Times (Taiwan): Power Play Rife in Nuclear Debate Taipei Times Mon, May 13, 2013 - Page 8 By Tsui Shu-hsin 崔愫欣 On Tuesday last week, Kuo Way (郭位), president of City University of Hong Kong, made a presentation on nuclear power at the Presidential Office in Taipei, during which President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) asked about global trends. Kuo was an almost permanent fixture in the media during the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear crisis, speaking in his capacity as an expert on nuclear safety about the crisis at the Fukushima plant itself and of (…)

Er lebt als unabhängiger Energie- und Atompolitikberater in Paris und ist Initiator und Hauptautor des World Nuclear Industry Status Report. HR-INFO, 28 April 2013, Audio 23:36 min Der “Welt-Statusreport” ist der Faktencheck zur Atomindustrie. Wer den neuesten aus dem (…)
11 March 2013 Les Echos (France): Peu de nouveaux projets pour l’industrie nucléaire dans le monde Par Anne Feitz | 11/03 | 07:00 Deux ans après Fukushima, l’industrie du nucléaire poursuit sa traversée du désert. Suite à l’onde de choc provoquée par la catastrophe, certains acteurs de la filière ont même commencé à revoir leur stratégie. L’arrêt brutal ou programmé de centrales au Japon et en Allemagne a durement affecté les japonais et les allemands. Plombé par des pertes abyssales, l’électricien Tepco, opérateur de la centrale de Fukushima, a été nationalisé en juin 2012. Les (…)
11 March 2013 Frankfurter Rundschau (Germany): Niedergang einer Technologie Fukushima ist für die AKW-Branche ein ebensolcher Rückschlag wie einst Tschernobyl. Zumal die neuen, „sicheren“ Reaktoren nicht wirtschaftlich sind. Von Joachim Wille 10. März 2013 Wie viele Atomkraftwerke sind heute, zwei Jahre nach dem Super-GAU von Fukushima, weltweit am Netz? Eine simple Frage – eigentlich. Doch die Antwort erscheint schwierig. Es sind 390, das ist die niedrigste Zahl seit dem Tschernobyl-Jahr 1986. Die Internationale Atomenergie-Behörde (IAEA) allerdings meldet (…)
14 February 2013 Deutsche Welle (Germany): Atomkraft lohnt sich nicht Für neue Atomkraftwerke sieht es schlecht aus: Die Reaktoren werden teuer und unrentabel und deshalb auch immer weniger gebaut. Seit der Atomkatastrophe in Fukushima vor zwei Jahren hat sich dieser Trend verstärkt. Datum 14.02.2013 Autor: Gero Rueter Redaktion: Hannah Fuchs Saubere und günstige Energie - als solche wurde die Atomkraft noch in den 1970er Jahren angepriesen. Experten der internationalen Atomenergieorganisation (IAEO) sagten der Atomkraft damals eine goldene Zukunft (…)
14 February 2013 Bloomberg/Businessweek/Washington Post (US): Nuclear Revival Dying in Europe as Power Prices Slump: Energy By Ladka Bauerova on February 14, 2013 A Czech atomic-plant expansion planned near the German border had been one of the few prizes left for Europe’s nuclear-power industry after the Fukushima disaster stopped projects from Switzerland to Romania. Russian and U.S. contractors have prepared to bid for the $10 billion contract to build two new reactors, Europe’s largest competitive tender for a nuclear project. Now a combination of cheaper European power prices and carbon credits, falling (…)
5 February 2013 The Wall Street Journal (US): The Real Deterrent to Nuclear Power The Wall Street Journal HEARD ON THE STREET Updated February 5, 2013, 12:40 p.m. ET By LIAM DENNING Long before they consume even a pound of uranium, nuclear-power plants burn through copious quantities of cash. That handicap was laid bare, once again, on both sides of the Atlantic this week. On Tuesday, Duke Energy said it would decommission its Crystal River nuclear-power plant in Florida rather than pay a repair bill estimated last October at more than $3 billion. The day before, (…)
5 February 2013 The Guardian (UK): Centrica withdraws from new UK nuclear projects British Gas owner’s unexpected exit – blamed on rising costs and construction delays – clears way for Chinese investors by Damian Carrington guardian.co.uk, Monday 4 February 2013 11.44 GMT Energy company Centrica has abandoned its plans for building new nuclear reactors in the UK, blaming rising costs and construction delays. The move is a blow to the government’s aspirations to build the most ambitious fleet of new reactors in Europe, and comes on the day MPs severely (…)
Mycle Schneider, 22 January 2013 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (US): France’s great energy debate France’s great energy debate Mycle Schneider Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, January-February 2013, 9 p. Abstract Many countries rethought their domestic nuclear power programs after the meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. In fact, even France—which generates half of the European Union’s nuclear electricity—has a new approach to nuclear power and to energy policy. President François Hollande vowed to reduce use of nuclear power, and his administration is (…)
