Sustainable development is a goal that transcends national boundaries and generations of people. It integrates environmental protection, economic growth and social welfare.

Under the Paris Agreement, OECD countries agreed to aim for a reduction of their greenhouse gas emissions sufficient to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre...

Description

The workshop on 'Modelling Employment in the Nuclear Power Sector' was held at NEA Headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux ...

The goal of the Ad Hoc Expert Group on Physical Limits to the Development of Nuclear Energy is to analyse and document the physical limits, if any, arising from a possible significant increase in nuc...

The study will investigate what are the cogeneration capabilities of various advanced reactor designs, as well as the flexibility they may have to switch from electricity generation to heat productio...

Sustainable development is a goal that transcends national boundaries and generations of people. It integrates environmental protection, economic growth and social welfare. A key challenge for sustai...

The Ad hoc Expert Group on Nuclear Energy and Security of Supply, which had been formed to carry out the study, met for the first time on 22-23 November 2007 at OECD/NEA offices in Issy-les-Moulineau...

NEA support for countries interested in calculating their system costs and optimising their electricity system

It is clear that future nuclear systems will operate in an environment that will be very different from the electricity systems that accompanied the fast deployment of nuclear power plants in the 197...

In nuclear energy supply, there are three components to the costs of electricity generation: 1) plant-level costs; 2) grid-level costs; and 3) social and environmental costs.

• Electricity security is an essential public need, at the same level as food security and access to health care.
• Nuclear energy is a key contributor to electricity security and already contributes po...

• Governments should incentivise investments in resilient low-carbon energy infrastructure, such as nuclear energy, in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Proper policy and market frameworks to in...

This NEA Policy Brief introduces the ongoing research on the overall costs of electricity, as only certain costs of electricity provision are perceived directly by producers and consumers. Other cost...

Energy and nuclear policy makers face many challenges as they evaluate options to ensure an adequate supply of electricity while pursuing environmental, economic and energy security goals. Many analy...
