Also included are short narrative country reports that give updates of the status, trends and issues in nuclear energy programmes. In 2016, nuclear power continued to supply significant amounts of low-carbon baseload electricity, despite strong competition from low-cost fossil fuels and subsidised renewable energy sources. Nuclear electricity generation Total electricity generation in NEA member countries declined slightly from 2015 to 2016 (1.5%) and electricity production at nuclear power plants (NPPs) decreased by 0.5% over the same period. In the OECD area, total electricity generation also declined from 2015 to 2016 (1.6%) and electricity production at nuclear power plants decreased by 0.6%.

    IAEA-TECDOC-1529 Management of Reprocessed Uranium Current Status and Future Prospects February 2007 IAEA-TECDOC-1529 Management of Reprocessed Uranium Current Status and Future Prospects February 2007 The originating Section of this publication in the IAEA was: Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Materials Section International Atomic Energy Agency Wagramer Strasse 5 P.O. Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria MANAGEMENT OF REPROCESSED URANIUM IAEA, VIENNA, 2007 IAEA-TECDOC-1529 ISBN 92–0–114506–3 ISSN 1011–4289 © IAEA, 2007 Printed by the IAEA in Austria February 2007 FOREWORD The International Atomic Energy Agency is giving continuous attention to the collection, analysis and exchange of information on issues of back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle, an important part of the nuclear fuel cycle. Reprocessing of spent fuel arising from nuclear power production is one of the strategies for the back end of the fuel cycle. As a major fraction of spent fuel is made up of uranium, chemical reprocessing of spent fuel would leave behind large quantities of separated uranium which is designated as reprocessed uranium (RepU). Reprocessing of spent fuel could form a crucial part of future fuel cycle methodologies, which currently aim to separate and recover plutonium and minor actinides. The use of reprocessed uranium (RepU) and plutonium reduces the overall environmental impact of the entire fuel cycle. Environmental considerations will be important in determining the future growth of nuclear energy. It should be emphasized that the recycling of fissile materials not only reduces the toxicity and volumes of waste from the back end of the fuel cycle; it also reduces requirements for fresh milling and mill tailings.

    International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy ISSN: 2146-4553 available at http: www.econjournals.com International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy, 2015, 5(4), 910-917. Behavioral Determinants of Russian Nuclear State-Owned Enterprises in Central and Eastern European Region Tomas Vlcek1*, Martin Jirusek2 1Department of International Relations and European Studies, Energy Security Program, Faculty of Social Studies, Masaryk University, Jostova 10, 602 00, Brno, Czech Republic, 2Department of International Relations and European Studies, Energy Security Program, Faculty of Social Studies, Masaryk University, Jostova 10, 602 00, Brno, Czech Republic. *Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Rosatom State Nuclear Corporation play a substantial role in the energy sector of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region and the behavioral characteristics of the company forms the basis of this article. Rosatom is positioned as the dominant provider of nuclear technology and fuel supplies to the region, in large part stemming from the Soviet legacy in CEE countries. Compounding this challenge, nuclear energy is one of the major sources of power generation in CEE. Given the long-time, near monopoly of Russian nuclear technology/design in the region and plans to expand further the nuclear capacity of select CEE countries, the sector requires careful monitoring from both a technical and security-minded perspective.

GAO Lugar, U.S. Senate September 1999 NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION Status of Transparency Measures for U.S. Purchase of Russian Highly Enriched Uranium GAO/RCED-99-194 United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-283458 September 22, 1999 The Honorable Richard G. Lugar United States Senate Dear Senator Lugar: After the breakup of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, there was great concern that weapons-grade material from retired Russian nuclear weapons, such as highly enriched uranium and plutonium, could be stolen or reused in nuclear weapons if not disposed of or properly protected. In the case of highly enriched uranium, one solution was to dilute this nuclear material into low enriched uranium so that it could be made into fuel for commercial nuclear power reactors. In February 1993, the United States agreed to purchase from Russia 500 metric tons of highly enriched uranium extracted from dismantled Russian nuclear weapons over a 20-year period.1 Russia agreed to dilute, or blend-down, the material into low enriched uranium before shipping it to the United States. From June 1995 through December 31, 1998, 1,487 metric tons of low enriched uranium, derived from 51 metric tons of highly enriched uranium, was delivered to the United States. USEC implements the commercial contract under the agreement and pays Russia for the deliveries of low enriched uranium.2 Russia is expected to receive about $12 billion from the agreement. As of April 1999, USEC had paid Russia almost $940 million.
