Top 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. | | (18501457), www.foratom.org 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”.

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 News

According to Likhachev, ROSATOM’s management pays the high priority attention to the development of the sectoral science that is confirmed by the staff and organizational decisions made last year and setting the highpriority tasks which include building up the sectoral plan in scientific areas, creation of the scientific eco-environs, provisions for sustainable financing of scientific activities, raising prestige of scientific work, and many others. “One more important task we are facing is the broadening scientific contacts, including our ‘blood brother’ NRC Kurchatov Institute as well as with the Russian Academy of Sciences. In April 2018, we plan to hold a large scientific conference of the sector where we will summarize certain results and possibly make decisions on development in promising areas,” Alexei Likhachev said. “Using this opportunity, I would like to announce 2018 the Year of Nuclear Science,” the head of sector said. In turn, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Aleksandr Sergeev noted in his address that today “RAS and ROSATOM work on friendly terms and in concert”. “In our interaction, ROSATOM is the support of RAS and, perhaps, today RAS needs ROSA- TOM more than ROSATOM needs RAS,” he said. The meeting was attended by leading Russian scientists, heads of ROSATOM, Russian Academy of Sciences, directors of nuclear research centers, and NRC Kurchatov Institute. At the function, welcoming speeches and presentations were made by Head of Proryv Project Evgeniy Adamov; Director of NRC Kurchatov Institute Denis Minkin; Director of SRC RF TRINITY (part of ROSATOM’s Science Division) Vladimir Cherkovets; Director of Institute for Laser Physical Research, Academician of RAS Sergey Garanin; Deputy General Director of *) Net-based values (Czech and Swiss nuclear power plants gross-based) 1) Refueling 2) Inspection 3) Repair 4) Stretch-out-operation 5) Stretch-in-operation 6) Hereof traction supply 7) Incl. steam supply 8) New nominal capacity since January 2016 9) Data for the Leibstadt (CH) NPP will be published in a further issue of atw BWR: Boiling Water Reactor PWR: Pressurised Water Reactor Source: VGB News
