The contribution of nuclear power to meet electricity demand varies widely from country to country. For example, in France, 59 nuclear plants generate about 77 percent of the country’s electricity; in Japan, 53 plants generate 27 percent of the electricity; and in the United States, Contents History and Current Status of the World Nuclear Industry The Dramatic Decrease of the Economics of Nuclear Power Nuclear Policy in the EU The Legacy of Csernobyl and Fukushima Nuclear Waste and Decommissioning of Nuclear Power Plants Alternatives: Heading Towards Sustainable Electricity Systems Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of political, economic and technical sciences Energy (policy) experts, nuclear energy experts and practitioners, economists, engineers An interdisciplinary MIT faculty group decided to study the future of nuclear power because of a belief that this technology is an important option for the United States and the world to meet future energy needs without emitting carbon dioxide and other atmospheric pollutants. It is clear that the US public’s interests are in line with the benefits of nuclear power. Nuclear energy is an important industry for the future of the United States. The advanced technology in the industry will be a key building block for a carbon-free American energy future, which can be sourced entirely domestically. Furthermore nuclear reactor export is an industry that provides tremendous wealth and over a hundred thousand American jobs. Leadership in Washington needs to ensure the An interdisciplinary MIT faculty group decided to study the future of nuclear power because of a belief that this technology is an important option for the United States and the world to meet future energy needs without emitting carbon dioxide and other atmospheric pollutants. Other options include increased efficiency, renewables,
