Foratom: Europe needs
nuclear for climate change
and energy security
(foratom) Nuclear energy contributes
to the European Union’s three key
energy objectives laid out in the bloc’s
energy union initiative of security of
supply, competitiveness and environmental
sustainability, Yves Desbazeille,
director-general of industry group
Foratom, told journalists in Brussels
on 29 January 2018.
According to Mr Desbazeille, the EU
must continue to focus on achieving its
ultimate goal of cutting CO 2 emissions,
transitioning to a low- carbon economy,
ensuring security of energy supply and
creating jobs. He said the EU should
continue to use “all the best tools available”,
including nuclear energy.
Mr Desbazeille said nuclear was
not mentioned in the EU’s latest ‘Clean
Energy for All Europeans’ legislative
package, although it is currently
providing almost half of the EU’s lowcarbon
electricity.
He said adjustments are also
needed to the way the European
energy markets work in order to stimulate
investment in long-term energy
capacities. A higher price to carbon
emissions is needed to encourage such
investments and a revision of the EU
emissions trading scheme (ETS) will
be a “key instrument” for decarbonising
the EU’s economy, Mr Desbazeille
said.
On the UK leaving the Euratom
treaty as part of Brexit, Mr Desbazeille
said the EU and UK should not delay
negotiating their future relationship
in the civil nuclear field and in
particular defining the parameters of
a transitional period.
Euratom is the treaty which underpins
the nuclear industry and the
trade in nuclear materials in the EU.

WNA outlines vision
for future of electricity
(wna) Harmony is the nuclear industry
vision supported by the World
Nuclear Association (WNA) for the
future of electricity and how nuclear
energy can help the world achieve its
2° climate target.
According to WNA, nuclear power
capacity will need to grow signifi cantly
around the world in order to meet
the International Energy Agency’s 2°
scenario. “By 2050, nuclear energy
must account for 25 % of energy
genera tion if we are to meet our
climate targets. With nuclear making
up 11 % of generation in 2014, an extra
1000 GW in nuclear capacity will need
to be built by 2050” states Agneta
Rising, WNA Director General. “However,
meeting this goal will not be
easy”, she adds.
One of the actions being undertaken
by the Harmony programme is
an evaluation of current barriers and
recommended solutions. These can be
summarised as follows:
Electricity market failures: Ensure
a level playing field for all low carbon
energy sources including nuclear.
Regulatory barriers: Harmonise
international regulatory processes to
ensure consistency, efficiency and
predictability.
Misconception of risks and benefits:
Address public concerns and put the
health, environmental and safety risks
of nuclear in perspective compared to
other power generation technologies.
“FORATOM very much welcomes
the work being undertaken by the
WNA. Indeed, Europe faces many of
the same challenges, and opportunities,
as other regions”, underlines
Yves Desbazeille, FORATOM Director
General. “Globally, the EU is the
region which emits the lowest amount
of CO 2 emissions from electricity generation
thanks to nuclear energy. We
look forward to continuing our fruitful
cooperation with the WNA and
making sure our positive messages
about the real value of nuclear energy
resonate across Europe”.

Head of ROSATOM Alexei
Likhachev announced 2018
the Year of Nuclear Science
(rosatom) On the 6th of February
2018, speaking at the function at the
Presidium of Scientific and Technical
Board of ROSATOM dedicated to the
Russian Science Day, Director General
of ROSATOM Alexei Likhachev
announced 2018 the Year of Nuclear
Science.
Likhachev reminded that the
nuclear sector had appeared in the
world owing to fundamental scientific
discoveries and today’s achievements
of Russian nuclear scientists in many
respects were based on scientific
