Creators

Description

The worldwide debate on sustainable development is still going strong and will result in important decisions that will affect the future of nuclear power. It is not easy for the world's nations to agree on adopting a common action plan, especially when they must, approach an issue with consequences that will affect the generations to come. The Kyoto Protocol addresses the promise of reducing greenhouse gases in the developed countries. nuclear power plants supply 16% of the world's electricity, and 83% of the world's nuclear production is concentrated in the industrialized countries. Nuclear power is part of the solution of ensuring sustainable development without increasing contaminating emissions, both for the industrialized countries that are benefiting from its use and for the developing countries that need and seek access to nuclear technology.
