Nuclear energy progressed in 2012 ...

Yep ... the Fukushima effect fell like a bellows ... and with the gradual restart of the Japanese reactors, the increase will be even more noticeable ...

Increase in global nuclear energy capacities in 2012 04/03 | 22:20 p.m.

Nuclear power generation capacity increased worldwide again in 2012 after declining the previous year due to the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced on Monday.

At the end of December, 437 nuclear reactors were operating worldwide for a total electricity production capacity of 372,5 gigawatts, an increase of around 1% compared to 2011.

"The impact of the accident at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant continued to be felt in 2012 through the relatively low number of construction launches for new reactors," said Yukiya Amano, director general of the IAEA, before the Agency's Board of Governors.

Seven new reactors were started around the world, mostly in China, in 2012. This is more than the four in 2011 but "significantly less than in 2010, when the continuous increase observed since 2003 reached its peak with 16 construction starts, ”added Yukiya Amano.

What did I say: http://www.rtl.be/info/monde/internatio ... t-fin-2013

Nuclear: Tokyo does not know how many reactors will be restarted before the end of 2013

(...)

According to a specialist in the sector in Japan, "all the assumptions are possible, from zero to even a dozen reactors by the end of the year" if the companies and the nuclear authority accelerate the processes of review and if grace periods are granted for carrying out the compliance work.

Technological performance

Let us be hopeful since at least good news comes to light this beginning of 2016 at EDF, it is the outperformance of the French nuclear fleet. In 2015, the 58 French reactors produced 417 terawatt hours (TWh), which is above the target of 410-415 TWh. This is an increase of 0,2% compared to 2014. A performance all the more important since the weather in December 2015 was very mild. Proof that the electrician always retains real operational and technological quality, a foundation on which Jean-Bernard Lévy, the current CEO, can rely to build the new EDF

A few tens of TWh were undoubtedly "sold to Belgium" in great difficulty of clean nuclear capacity during winter 2014-2015 ...

I say "sold to Belgium" because Electrabel is 100% owned by Engie (formerly Suez) ... a huge political error in ceding your energy 100% to a foreign company ...
