Atomkraft, ja bitte?
Amazon, Google, Microsoft und jetzt auch Meta: Die Tech-Konzerne setzen für ihren enormen Strombedarf auf Kernenergie, vor allem auf Reaktoren, die kleiner und günstiger sein sollen. Schon ist von einer Atom-Renaissance die Rede. Helmut Martin-Jung und Nakissa Salavati • 3. Dezember 2024 Wann beginnt ein Trend? So viel kann man wohl sagen: Wenn drei große Tech-Konzerne unabhängig voneinander ähnliche Pläne entwerfen, dann werden ganze Industrien, Forschungszweige und Investoren (…)

No ’nuclear renaissance’
Opinion • by Jang Daul – 27 November 2024 Nuclear power has long been a controversial issue mainly due to nuclear accidents, radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation and high costs. Now, the nuclear debate is centered on the role of nuclear power in the zero-carbon power mix to address the global climate crisis. In order to determine whether nuclear power is a feasible option that can make an additional contribution to the urgent global carbon reduction, it is necessary to understand (…)

Nuclear power remains irrelevant in international market: report
China added only a gigawatt of nuclear capacity in 2023. 13 November 2024 Nuclear power remains irrelevant in the international energy landscape as countries prioritise solar coupled with storage solutions in making their energy goals and policies a reality. “Contrary to widespread perception, nuclear power remains irrelevant in the international market for electricity generating technologies. Solar plus storage might be the game changer for the adaptation of policy decisions to (…)

Russland baut 20 Kernreaktoren im Ausland
Immer wieder wird in der Öffentlichkeit von der Renaissance der Atomkraft gesprochen. Doch sie war weltweit nie verschwunden. Ihr Beitrag an der Stromproduktion sinkt jedoch stetig, wie ein neuer Bericht zeigt. Martin Läubli • 5. Oktober 2024 In Kürze: Weltweit gibt es 408 Reaktoren, die gut 9 Prozent der weltweiten Stromproduktion liefern. In Europa ist Kernkraft vor allen in Frankreich und Grossbritannien ein aktuelles Thema. Kleine modulare Reaktoren gelten als zukünftige Option, (…)

Russian and Western Nuclear Industries Remain Interdependent
The nuclear energy industries in Russia and the West have remained interdependent after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which partly explains Europe’s unwillingness to impose sanctions on Russia’s nuclear sector, the World Nuclear Industry Status Report showed on Thursday. by Tsvetana Paraskova • 19 September 2024 “Despite repeated calls—notably by the European Parliament—the nuclear sector remained exempt from sanctions—a clear indication of dependency on Russia in the field,” (…)

Dans le monde, le nucléaire ne fait plus rêver
Les capacités mondiales de l’électricité d’origine nucléaire continuent de décliner. Les chantiers sont retardés ou annulés, et les coûts stratosphériques.

Peter Dutton refuses to divulge costs of going nuclear at anticipated ‘could it work’ speech
Coalition’s lack of costings and absence of detail has been seized upon by critics of Australia’s potential landmark energy shift by Peter Hannam • 23 September 2024 Peter Dutton continues to refuse to release costings for the Coalition’s plan to build seven nuclear plants, saying he will announce details “in due course” before the next election. There was “zero chance of the Albanese government reaching net zero by 2050, using renewables alone” and so nuclear energy had to be in the (…)
