Germany's Energiewende (energy transition) is a national program to change to a renewable-dominated energy system and phase out nuclear power. The government has estimated that the total cost of this could reach €1 trillion.

In 2018, the ICRP launched a pre-consultation, inviting its Special Liaison Organisations (SLOs), including World Nuclear Association, to comment on the draft update of ICRP Publications 109 and 111, developed by the ICRP Task Group nº 93. We have taken note of the changes be...

Bulgaria has two nuclear reactors generating about one-third of its electricity. Bulgaria's first commercial nuclear power reactor began operating in 1974. Government commitment to the future of nuclear energy is strong.

China has become largely self-sufficient in reactor design and construction, as well as other aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle. The strong impetus for nuclear power in China is increasingly due to air pollution from coal-fired plants.

Denmark gets about half of its electricity from wind. The country is part of two major electrical grids which depend on nuclear and hydro for much of the base-load supply.  

Wholesale electricity prices across Europe have recorded an unprecedented increase between 2017 and 2018 , and could have a significant negative impact on European economies. Interestingly, in France, a country where nuclear accounts for a major share of the energy mix, ...

Electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles which are able to be charged from mains power have potential to greatly increase the demand for base-load power from grid systems. Development of these depends critically on battery technology.
