Nuclear power’s electricity generating capacity risks shrinking in the coming decades as ageing reactors are retired and the industry struggles with reduced competitiveness, according to a new IAEA report.

This report provides a comprehensive review of the potential role of nuclear power in mitigating global climate change and its contribution to other economic, energy and environmental challenges.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has released a report, titled 'Climate Change and Nuclear Power 2013.' The report, which expands on the previous 2012 edition, summarizes the potential role of nuclear power in mitigating climate change and its contribution to other development and environmental challenges.

This IAEA report summarizes nuclear power’s potential role in mitigating global climate change. Also highlights its contribution in addressing development and environment challenges, as well as its current status, including the issues of cost, safety, waste management and nonproliferation.

The purpose of this action plan is to define a programme of work to strengthen the global nuclear safety framework. The plan consists of actions building on the Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Safety convened in June 2011, the conclusions and recommendations of the Working Sessions, and the experience and knowledge therein.

This report summarizes the potential role of nuclear power in mitigating global climate change and its contribution to other development and environment challenges, as well as its current status, including the issues of cost, safety, waste management and nonproliferation.

Food supply is an issue for millions of people worldwide facing soaring market prices, impacts of climate change on food harvests, and other agricultural problems. With the world population estimated to reach 9 billion by 2050, problems of food security demand significant advances in agricultural productivity and competitiveness.

For many years the IAEA has been supporting coordinated research within the framework of a project on

This handbook is a practical aid to legislative drafting that brings together, for the first time, model texts of provisions covering all aspects of nuclear law in a consolidated form.
