World Nuclear Market is Shrinking – preview of 2018 World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR),

L’Usine Nouvelle 26th June 2018 The world nuclear market is shrinking, confirms the 2018 edition of the
World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR), unveiled in preview by
L’Usine Nouvelle.

The nuclear spring, which was to succeed the
post-Fukushima winter, still does not arrive. And may well never happen.

Only four new reactors – that is, connected to the electricity grid – were
commissioned in 2017. The first three are in China, the fourth – of Chinese
construction – in Pakistan. In 2018, there will be only three. One in China
and two in Russia, including Rostov 4 under construction since the 1980s.
Statistics from the count of May 31 Julie Hazemann, data manager, and Mycle
Schneider, lead author of the World nuclear industry status report 2018
(WNISR 2018) unveiled in preview by “L’Usine Nouvelle”.
