Rebecca will be in Washington for the publication of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2018.

The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2018 (WNISR) , chiefly edited by Mycle Schneider , gives a detailed and thorough summative description of all the significant changes in the world nuclear industry, enriched by specific information for individual regions and countries:

The WNISR 2018 assesses nuclear power plant data and the status of new-build programs in current nuclear countries as well as in potential newcomer countries, and with particular attention to seven Focus Countries representing about two thirds of the global fleet. The Fukushima Status Report gives an overview of the standing of onsite and offsite issues seven years after the beginning of the catastrophe. The Decommissioning Status Report for the first time provides an overview of the current state of nuclear reactors that have been permanently closed. A new chapter looks into interdependencies between civil and military uses of nuclear infrastructures. The Nuclear Power vs. Renewable Energy chapter provides global comparative data on investment, capacity, and generation from nuclear, wind and solar energy.

The World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR), chiefly edited by Mycle Schneider, provides for us just such an objective and independent report, based on a third-party-perspective which can open the gate to discussions of sustainable development of nuclear energy. This reputable report gives a detailed and thorough summative description of all the significant changes in the world nuclear industry this year, enriched by specific information for individual regions and countries.
