Description

The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2019 (WNISR2019) assesses the status and trends of the international nuclear industry and analyzes the potential role of nuclear power as an option to combat climate change. Eight interdisciplinary experts from six countries, including four university professors and the Rocky Mountain Institute's co-founder and chairman emeritus, an information manager as well as various proofreaders and artistic designers have contributed to the report. While the number of operating reactors has increased over the past year by four to 417 as of mid-2019, it remains below the number of 418 from 30 years ago, and 21 units away from the historic peak 438 in 2002

Abstract (French)

Comme dans les precedentes editions, le World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2019 (WNISR2019) dresse un panorama exhaustif du parc nucleaire mondial, et fournit des donnees relatives a l'age, l'exploitation, la production et les constructions. Un nouveau chapitre, 'Changement climatique et energie nucleaire' porte sur la question cruciale de la performance de l'option nucleaire pour repondre a une urgence climatique toujours plus flagrante. Le WNISR passe en revue les programmes de construction tant dans les 31 pays qui exploitent deja le nucleaire, que chez les (potentiels) 'newcomers'. Le WNISR2019 porte une attention particuliere a dix 'Focus Countries' qui representent environ deux tiers du parc nucleaire mondial. Le 'Fukushima Status Report' presente une actualisation des problematiques - sur- et hors-site - huit ans apres le debut de la catastrophe. Le 'Decommissioning Status Report', propose pour la deuxieme fois une vision d'ensemble de la situation des reacteurs definitivement arretes. Le chapitre 'Le nucleaire face aux renouvelables' apporte des elements de comparaison sur les investissements, l'evolution des capacites et des productions nucleaires, eoliennes et solaires. Enfin, la traditionnelle Annexe 1 est une presentation synthetique de la situation de chacun des 21 autres pays exploitants des centrales nucleaires non couverts dans les focus
