For some time now, but especially since the support of institutions such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the International Energy Agency and the EU in the Green Finance Regulation, nuclear energy has received broad global support. And there is a growing realisation from this side that nuclear power is an essential part of the Read more...
A quarter of a century ago, a long-time expert on the scene wrote that dealing with (high-level) radioactive waste "has the well-deserved reputation of being one of the trickiest policy areas facing the US and other countries with nuclear reactors for power generation" [North 1999]. With a few exceptions, this is still true today. However Read more...
Europe on its way to becoming a key player in the construction and development of new nuclear power plants: With a declaration of intent by 25 countries to triple global nuclear power capacity, nuclear power has made its first prominent appearance as a climate policy technology at a Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The study aims at identifying how the optimal generation mix evolves at different levels of carbon emissions, and what is the impact on the total costs for the provision of the energy services. It also looks at what are the benefits and impacts of a tighter coupling of the power Read more...
The development of global energy supply in the coming decades is of outstanding interest for the strategic orientation of companies and governments as well as the positioning of international stakeholders. Accordingly, a number of institutions regularly present detailed analyses of the prospects for energy consumption and its coverage. The analyses Read more...
The number of nuclear power plants (NPP) to be decommissioned and dismantled will grow within the next years. Particularly NPP in Europe and in the United States are affected.
