Abstract

This study juxtaposes the major facts and arguments about nuclear energy and its 
potential role in establishing sustainable energy paths. The notion of sustainability 
has a strong normative character and can be interpreted in a variety of ways. 
Therefore, also the sustainability of energy supply technologies possesses a 
normative nature. 
This paper analyses what the major dimensions are that ought to be addressed 
when nuclear energy technology is compared, in sustain ability terms, with its 
fossil-fuelled and renewable counterparts. It is assessed to what extent energy 
supply portfolios including nuclear energy are more, or less, sustainable in 
comparison to those that exclude this technology. 
It is indicated what this inventory of collected facts and opinions means for both 
policy and research regarding nuclear energy in the case of the Netherlands.
