Realising the contribution of nuclear energy to achieving net zero carbon emission in 2050 will require raising significant amounts of capital at competitive rates. On the basis of work under the aeg...

Electricity provision touches upon every facet of life in OECD and non-OECD countries alike, and choosing how this electricity is generated whether from fossil fuels, nuclear energy or renewables aff...

The need to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in an effort to tackle climate change has become a major driver of energy policy. Indeed, many believe that an "energy revolution" is needed to decarbon...

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...

The global response to address climate change is a key policy challenge of the 21st century. Many governments around the world have agreed that action should be taken to achieve large cuts in greenho...

La mise en oeuvre du Protocole de Kyoto et l'application de ses mécanismes de flexibilité sont au premier plan des débats de politique énergétique dans la plupart des pays de l'OCDE. Le rôle que l'én...

The implementation of the Kyoto Protocol and the application of its "flexible mechanisms" are at the forefront of energy policy debates in most OECD countries. The potential role of nuclear energy in...

Climate change will create specific risks and challenges for nuclear power plants and the electricity system as a whole. Extreme weather events caused by climate change – such as floods, storms, heat...

This report highlights the potential role of nuclear in contributing to the circular carbon economy as a low-carbon source of electricity, but also as a source of heat and system integration services...

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are gaining recognition among policymakers and industry players as a promising nuclear technology. SMRs can be defined as nuclear reactors with a power output between 10...
