In 2003 the MIT interdisciplinary study The Future of Nuclear Power was published. The thesis was that nuclear energy is an important option for the marketplace in a low-carbon world. At least for the next few decades, there are only four realistic options for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation: increased efficiency in energy utilization, expanded use of renewables such as wind and solar, reducing carbon dioxide emissions at fossil fueled power plants by switching from coal to natural gas or by transitioning to capture and permanent sequestration of the carbon dioxide, and nuclear power. The study perspective was that all options would be needed and it would be a mistake to exclude any of these four options from an overall carbon emissions management strategy. The report examined the barriers to nuclear power and made a series of recommendations to enable nuclear power as a market place option. Since that report, there have been major changes in the US and the world, as described in our 2009 Update of the 2003 Future of Nuclear Power Report. MIT (energy initiative) recently released a controversial and well-publicized report on the future of the nuclear fuel cycle. In it, they argue that there is sufficient uranium to allow ongoing deployment of water-cooled reactors for many decades; they recommend that no far-reaching decision be made yet on the ultimate disposal of the 'spent' nuclear fuel so produced and suggest that research on technical solutions can be ongoing over this period, with no particular urgency.

"In 2003 MIT published the interdisciplinary study The Future of Nuclear Power. The underlying motivation was that nuclear energy, which today provides about 70% of the "zero"-carbon electricity in the U.S., is an important option for the market place in a low-carbon world. Since that report, major changes in the U.S. and the world have taken place as described in our 2009 Update of the 2003 Future of Nuclear Power Report. Concerns about climate change have risen: many countries have adopted restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, and the U.S. is expected to adopt similar limits. Projections for nuclear-power growth worldwide have increased dramatically and construction of new plants has accelerated, particularly in China and India. This study on The Future of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle has been carried out because of the continuing importance of nuclear power as a low-carbon option that could be deployed at a scale that is material for mitigating climate change risk, namely, global deployment at the Terawatt scale by mid-century."

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Reflecting the success of the first workshop of the Cyprus Institute entitled Climate Change and Energy Pathways for the Mediterranean held in Cyprus in 2005, these proceedings present an overview of the implications of climate change for the eastern Mediterranean and the impact of climate change response on regional economic activity, particularly in the hydrocarbon industry. The 11 invited papers and the summaries of presentations and interactive discussion of the workshop emphasize regional implications and set the stage to build a research strategy for the newly established Cyprus Institute. This book is aimed not just at scientists and researchers, but at policy makers and politicians, particularly in the Mediterranean region.
