Cost drivers identified to support investment in new nuclear power and its role in the UK’s future, low carbon energy system
Sustainable nuclear report 2019
This new Report was prepared for the European Commission Technical Expert Group on Sustainable Finance, and larger global investment community, to help them fairly and robustly evaluate nuclear energy as a sustainable investment.
Effects of heatwaves on nuclear plants
For the second summer in a row, some nuclear power plants in Europe have been forced to temporarily shut down or reduce power output due to extreme heat waves. Some have suggested that this curtailment demonstrates that nuclear energy is ill-adapted to a warming climate.
IEA: Steep decline in nuclear power would threaten energy security and climate goals
The lack of further lifetime extensions of existing nuclear plants and new projects could result in an additional 4 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Clean growth through innovation – the need for urgent action
The UK Government should consider investing up to GBP1 billion (USD1.3 billion) between 2021 and 2025 to boost the progress of innovation in the nuclear energy sector.
