Economic progress in the developing world will lead to major increases in global energy demand, with possible implications for fuel prices, and could have adverse effects on health and the environment. These problems can only be mitigated through concerted international effort to develop promising technologies. In view of the expected growth in demand for energy, continuing use will need to be made of all potential sources. Nuclear energy makes a significant contribution to the policy of diversifying energy supply and reducing overall emissions of CO Nuclear energy has the potential to provide Europe with a secure and sustainable electricity supply at a competitive price. Efforts to develop the safety and security of nuclear energy systems can strengthen the Community's industrial competitiveness, through exploiting the European technological advance and enhance the acceptability of nuclear energy. Minimising radiation exposure from all sources, including medical exposures and natural radiation, will improve the quality of life and will help in addressing health and environmental problems.

Extractions: With high probability, the countries of the world will face a decision between greatly expanded nuclear energy and a greatly reduced standard of living. Sooner or later the world will go for nuclear energy in a big way. If this is to be done in a technologically and economically optimal way, the changes will begin soon. Indeed it was a tragedy that ignorance and fanaticism prevented the good start on nuclear energy made in the 1960s from continuing. If it had, the US would already be in compliance with the Kyoto targets for CO2 emission. 2002 April 17 note: In the last few years in the US, companies specializing in operating nuclear plants have bought existing plants from the utilities. They sell the electricity to the utilities. Entergy is one such company that has just notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that it intends to apply for a license to build a new plant in Mississippi. The process of making the application will take several years. Entergy officials have said a new nuclear plant becomes economically viable when the price of natural gas consistently tops $5 per million British thermal units. Although prices in south Louisiana topped $10 per BTU last year during the shortage, they fell back after supplies strengthened. In recent weeks, natural gas has been trading around $3 per million BTU. 2002 September: from Access to Energy

Extractions: 18 September 2000 Vienna - In a speech to the 44th Session of the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) September 18, U.S. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson discussed how the international community is facing the challenges of reducing nuclear risks and promoting the safe uses of nuclear energy. "We are near to completing the Verification Agreement for the Trilateral Initiative," Richardson noted. "This Agreement will enable the IAEA to verify that hundreds of tons of fissile materials removed from U.S. and Russian military stockpiles never again return to nuclear weapons. Our goal is to submit an Agreement to the IAEA Board of Governors when it meets in December." Among other issues he discussed: the Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement, which will result in the destruction of 68 metric tons of U.S. and Russian weapons-grade plutonium. the need to end the stalemate in the Conference on Disarmament and complete a Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty. reduction of the nuclear weapons stockpile under the START treaties.

Extractions: Nuclear energy has long posed a dilemma for environmentalists. As a cheap, clean source of power that does not use fossil fuels or add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, it offers an appealing alternative to power from traditional coal-fired plants. Yet nuclear energy is associated with troubling environmental issues, including the problem of radioactive waste disposal. Background The U.S. nuclear power industry is composed of 103 reactors in 31 states that together generate about 20% of the nation's power. Electricity production from nuclear power plants exceeds that from oil, natural gas, and hydropower sources, and is second only to coal. While construction costs for nuclear plants are high, the cost of nuclear power per kilowatt-hour (kwh) to consumers is comparable to that of coal. Nuclear energy production involves the fission, or splitting, of uranium atoms. When an atom splits, a small portion of its mass is converted to energy, and the remainder is converted to heat. Under the right conditions, it can set off a chain reaction that splits other atoms. Commercial production of nuclear energy maintains a controlled chain reaction within the reactor of a power plant, converts the heat released by the atoms to steam, and uses the steam to generate electricity. The energy produced from splitting atoms is far greater than the energy produced from combustion of the same amount of matter, so production of nuclear energy requires less land and fewer materials, and generates less waste, than production of energy from burning fossil fuels.

Many countries believe that nuclear energy must be an integral part of their energy mix to meet future energy supply needs. To help achieve this goal, the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy, Science, and Technology is coordinating discussion among governments, industry, and the research community worldwide on the development of next-generation nuclear energy systems, known as "Generation IV." The goal of the Generation-IV Initiative is to develop safe, cost-effective, proliferation-resistant, and sustainable nuclear technologies to meet future global energy needs.
