BUSINESS AS USUAL AND NUCLEAR POWER

Energy and nuclear policy makers face many challenges as they evaluate options 
to ensure an adequate supply of electricity while pursuing environmental, economic 
and energy security goals. Many analysts suggest that nuclear's share of global 
energy supply could decrease in coming decades. If energy markets and national 
energy policies continue along "business as usual" lines, what are the issues that 
arise? What are the consequences for the long-term availability of nuclear technology 
and expertise? This book identifies the issues in a series of papers presented at a 
recent meeting jointly organised by the International Energy Agency and the OECD 
Nuclear Energy Agency.

Senior energy policy makers and industry executives from OECD Member countries 
contributed these analyses. They offer a realistic assessment of nuclear's potential 
contribution, and the major challenges awaiting nuclear energy and energy supply 
in general. For those seeking a review of the current issues facing nuclear power 
within the broad context of energy policy, this is an essential report
