(663.5847) Schneider/Froggatt”>WORLD NUCLEAR INDUSTRY STATUS REPORT 2007
Fifteen years ago, the Worldwatch Institute in Washington, WISE-PParis and Greenpeace International published the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 1992. This was then subsequently updated in 2004 by two of the original authors. The November 2007 update of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report (commissioned by the Greens-EEFA Group in the European Parliament) provides an entirely updated and slightly modified version of the 2004 report. This report aims to provide a solid basis for analysis into the prospects for the nuclear power industry. The report can be downloaded at www.nirs.org(663.5847) Schneider/Froggatt”>
 - At the end of October 2007, there are 339 reactors operating in the world–one less than at the moment of the release of the 2004 version of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report and five units less than at the historical peak in 2002–which total 371.7 GW of capacity. The installed capacity has increased faster (more…)

Nuclear Power Hinders Progress on Climate Change

Nuclear power cannot address climate change. Greenhouse gases are emitted throughout the nuclear fuel chain, from the mining of the necessary fuel - uranium - to its enrichment, transportation and the construction of nuclear plants. Nuclear plants take too long to build - up to a dozen years or more. The planet is already in crisis with experts pointing to rapid climate change already underway and less than ten years left to pre-empt disaster. There is no time to wait for nuclear plant construction. (more…)

The Global Nuclear Energy Partnership

The Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) is the Bush Administration’s plan for expanding the nuclear power industry in the U.S. and around the globe. If President Bush’s plan works as advertised, it would reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, improve the environment by reducing CO2 emissions, encourage clean development around the world and reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation.
