Abstract
Overview
Introduction
Public opinion in many European countries is becoming more favourable towards
nuclear power. But while announcements for new nuclear build now outpace
announcements for planned closures, a major expansion in European nuclear
capacity awaits the implementation of supportive government frameworks.
Scope
- An analysis of public opinion on nuclear power across Europe.
- A review of how nuclear generation capacity and output have evolved across
European markets since 1990.
- A projection of how the European nuclear generation landscape will evolve,
covering planned closures, life extensions and new build.
- A review of the role of government in Europe' s leading nuclear operators
and technology providers.
Report Highlights
Only 5 European countries are currently constructing nuclear capacity:
Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Finland and Bulgaria. Of these, four countries have
government-controlled project sponsors
If Europe is to maintain its proportion of world nuclear capacity, at least 61
plants will have to be built by 2031.
Announcements of new nuclear build have now overtaken announcements of planned
closures for the first time since the 1990-2004 period.
Reasons to Purchase
- Understand what countries are currently building new nuclear capacity, and
what countries are planning to build new capacity in the near future.
- Assess public opinion on nuclear new build across European markets.
- Understand how nuclear generation output and capacity have changed since
1990 in 15 European markets.
