At Work 2020 edition Foreword The upcoming decade will be crucial for the energy sector Overall, during this first phase of the Harmony goal and the nuclear industry particularly, as we attempt to achieve (2016-2020), 43 reactors are expected to start in 10 decarbonization globally. Nuclear power's role in the clean countries, based on 20 different designs, and with energy transition must be agreed universally this year, to capacities ranging from 35 MWe to 1750 MWe – a ensure that the full potential of nuclear energy can be realized. reflection of the dynamic nature of our industry and our strong commitment to innovation. This brings us close 2019 has shown that the need for nuclear energy is to meeting the first milestone of the Harmony goal, to increasingly recognized globally. A broad range of expert construct an average of 10 GWe per year of new nuclear bodies have highlighted how nuclear energy is vital to capacity between 2016 and 2020. However, a greater ensure that electricity is available to all, while respecting effort is needed to build on this good start and accelerate the environment and tackling climate change. towards the goal of supplying 25% of the world’s electricity before 2050. For the first time in 18 years, the International Energy Agency published a report on nuclear energy – Nuclear The world’s nuclear reactors continued to perform Power in a Clean Energy Future. It concluded that removing excellently, with several utilities already reporting record nuclear energy from the equation would result in higher output.

    STUDIES The 2002 Amendment to the German Atomic Energy Act Concerning the Phase-out of Nuclear Power by Dr. Axel Vorwerk* I. Introduction One of the German Government’s main legislative projects in the 14th legislative period of the German Bundestag was the legal regulation of the phase-out of the use of nuclear power. The Act on the structured phase-out of nuclear power for the commercial production of electricity entered into force on 27 April 2002.1 Section 1 of this Act contains amendments to the Act on the Peaceful Utilisation of Atomic Energy and the Protection against its Hazards (Atomic Energy Act) of 23 December 1959 (the 1985 consolidated text of this Act is reproduced in the Supplement to Nuclear Law Bulletin No. 36);2 Sections 2 and 3 contain amendments to the Ordinance on Financial Security Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 25 January 1977 (the text of this Ordinance is reproduced in the Supplement to Nuclear Law Bulletin No. 18);3 and the Cost Ordinance Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 17 December 1981.4 According to the decision of the German Government and the legislator, the further use of nuclear energy for commercial electricity production will only be permitted for a limited period due to the high risks associated with it, despite the high standard of safety at German installations in an international comparison. Even though, pursuant to the German Atomic Energy Act, precautionary action is to be taken against possible damage resulting from the operation of nuclear installations in accordance with the state of the art in science and technology, it is not possible to fully rule out the possibility of accidents resulting in major releases of ionising radiation.

I hope that you enjoy reading NRI’s first annual Corporate Report. With change come new risks and opportunities in the sector. Against the challenging market conditions of the last decade, low-carbon nuclear energy is an important element of the energy mix required to meet the emissions reduction commitments of the Paris Agreement and the growing need to satisfy carbon net zero commitments into the 2020s and beyond. In anticipation of this year’s United Nations Climate Change Conference Low-carbon nuclear in Glasgow, COP26, our trust in the potential for nuclear power, as a reliable component of a low-carbon energy mix, remains.

Consequently, the government has taken some measures to make a comprehensive and robust framework to ensure safe and secure nuclear energy production in the country. Even though these initiatives are highly appreciable, there remain certain regulatory concerns which this paper has attempted to reflect.
