There is no nuclear power generation in Portugal.

China's tenth five year Energy Development Plan (2001) gives priority to hydropower, optimization of thermal power, development of the electricity grid and increased use of nuclear power.

That's roughly a third more nuclear power than all of France creates.

Regarding the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, Brazil presently operates two nuclear power stations, which generate approximately 2,000 MW, or 3 per cent of the country's total electrical power generation.

Following a referendum in 1978, Austria renounced the use of nuclear energy for power generation and does not operate nuclear power plants.

And does nuclear really compete with coal?

Nuclear energy generated 16 per cent of the world's electricity with almost no greenhouse gas emissions.

Of those, only nuclear and hydro are green.

The Conference expresses the view that, for the purposes of article IV of the Treaty, nuclear energy embraces both power and non power applications.

In South Africa, nuclear power is the second largest source of electricity, accounting for 6.8 per cent of the country's electricity generation capacity and 3 per cent of the primary energy supply.

And as usual, they had to buy nuclear power from France.

The Russian Federation intends to double its nuclear generating capacity by 2020.

There is no nuclear generating capacity in Ireland and peat represents approximately 14 per cent of total primary energy supply.

In terms of proliferation, nuclear energy has done more to dismantle nuclear weapons than any other activity.

They're referred to as nuclear batteries.

So far there is only three sources of baseload electricity coal, some gas, nuclear and hydro.

It also has a sizeable nuclear industry, which presently accounts for about 18 per cent of the electricity generation capacity.

In order to phase out older nuclear units, Slovakia is increasing its nuclear generating capacity with the corresponding decrease in use of fossil fuels.

The International Atomic Energy Agency expects at least 90 additional nuclear power reactors to join the 437 now in operation globally by 2030. Although some countries abandoned or scaled back their nuclear energy plans after Fukushima, major users of nuclear power, such as China, India, and Russia, are going forward with ambitious expansion plans.

Nuclear power generation is an indispensable element of Pakistan's national energy strategy.

And in China, right now, they're putting up five gigawatts of nuclear.

We accord the highest level of importance to the safety and security of our nuclear installations, particularly as we expand our nuclear power generation capacity for economic development.

According to the medium term national energy strategy plan, the construction of a nuclear power plant in Poland, with a capacity of approximately 3,000 MWe will be is taken into consideration in the next 15 to 20 years.

Since 2000, global onshore wind power generation has averaged 27 annual growth, while the growth rate for solar photovoltaics has been a staggering 42 . Last year, an additional 45 GW of wind and 32 GW of solar were installed worldwide, compared to a net addition of 1.2 GW of nuclear.

HEU is not required for the generation of civilian nuclear power.

A reliable infrastructure has enabled us to commence work on another nuclear power station, the Chashma Nuclear Power Plant II.

Nuclear and hydro power is used for 50 60 per cent of the electricity generation.

The building of a nuclear power plant is nearing completion.

But, since the March 2011 triple meltdown at Japan s Fukushima Daiichi plant, the pace of the decline has accelerated significantly. Indeed, in 2012, annual nuclear generation worldwide dropped by an unprecedented 7 , exceeding the previous year s record breaking drop of 4 and bringing total annual nuclear power generation to 12 below its historic maximum, achieved in 2006.

But it may be a pretty good idea relocated into sustainable nuclear energy for electricity, instead of burning coal.

Nigeria's electricity demand would soon outstrip current electricity generating capacity by about five times, making nuclear energy the only affordable and environmentally safe option available.

Wind takes about two to five years on average, same as concentrated solar and photovoltaics.

Over the past two decades, however, the UK has seen the stagnation of the development of its nuclear power, and a majority of its existing 15 nuclear power stations have reached their design lifetime.

CA How much electricity?

Sweden, with its hydropower, is even lower, at 0.9 kg. And, while Germany is abandoning domestic production of nuclear energy for political reasons, we can bet that it will nonetheless continue to import electricity from France s nuclear plants.

Pre Fukushima, a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), The Future of Nuclear Power, 2003, as well as a study by researchers at the University of Chicago, established that nuclear energy was 50 100 more expensive than energy from coal or gas. The report of the Working Group on Power of the Planning Commission of India puts the cost of energy from the country s coal based plants at about one third lower than nuclear power, with gas 50 cheaper.

If all of the electricity you used in your lifetime was nuclear, the amount of waste that would be added up would fit in a Coke can.

Although Japan accounts for three quarters of this decline, with only two of the 50 units that are officially in operation in Japan actually producing power, 16 other countries, including the world s top five nuclear generators, also decreased their output. As a result, nuclear power s share of global electricity generation dropped to around 10 in 2012, compared to its 1993 peak of 17 .

We look forward to a rapid growth in nuclear power generation capacity in India, based on full international civilian nuclear cooperation, as we continue our efforts to develop appropriate indigenous technologies aimed at the realization of the ultimate goal of large scale utilization of thorium for energy production not only in the form of electricity but also through the generation of hydrogen.

As a country that depended on nuclear energy for 40 per cent of its electric power supply, the Republic of Korea viewed the right to peaceful uses of nuclear energy as indispensable to its sustainable development.

So and then when you compare the lifetime emissions of these various energy forms, nuclear is about even with solar and wind, and ahead of solar oh, I'm sorry with hydro and wind, and ahead of solar.

Today, this promise remains unfulfilled. Development of nuclear technology has stagnated, with nuclear power plants still using technology developed a half century ago.amp 160

And what if we could get exquisite control over the essence of energy, the electron?

Energy efficiency improvements at coal and diesel powered generating stations, hydroelectric facilities, nuclear power plants, and combined heat and power plants were specifically mentioned as were efforts to diminish losses from the transportation and distribution of electricity and natural gas.

Geothermal potential amounts to 990 MW and wind potential to 600 MW.
