発表概要:Nuclear energy has been facing an uncertain future after the multiple accidents at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in 2011. The nuclear industry still hopes for a large expansion, mostly on the basis of various developing countries constructing nuclear reactors. Among the countries that have announced ambitious targets for constructing nuclear power plants are China and India. This talk will discuss some of these targets and the record of actual implementation of these plans, as well as the multiple factors that drive and constrain nuclear policy.
