  • After Years of Stagnation, Nuclear Power Is On
    5 Vaunted hopes Climate Change and the Unlikely Nuclear Renaissance joshua William Busby ft er years oF s TaGNaTioN, Nucle ar P oWer is oN The atable again. Although the sector suffered a serious blow in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear meltdown that occurred in Japan in early 2011, a renewed global interest in nuclear power persists, driven in part by climate concerns and worries about soaring energy demand. As one of the few relatively carbon-free sources of energy, nuclear power is being reconsid- ered, even by some in the environmental community, as a possible option to combat climate change. As engineers and analysts have projected the poten- tial contribution of nuclear power to limiting global greenhouse gas emis- sions, they have been confronted by the limits in efficiency that wind, water, and solar power can provide to prevent greenhouse gas emissions from rising above twice pre-industrial levels. What would constitute a nuclear power renaissance? In 1979, at the peak of the nuclear power sector’s growth, 233 power reactors were simultaneously under construction. By 1987, that number had fallen to 120. As of February 2012, 435 nuclear reactors were operable globally, capable of producing roughly 372 gigawatts (GW) of electricity (WNA 2012). Some analysts suggest that, with the average age of current nuclear plants at twenty-four years, more than 170 reactors would need to be built just to maintain the current number in 2009 1 Copyright © 2013.

  • Legal Regulation of Aircraft Engine Emissions in the Age of Climate Change
    Legal Regulation of Aircraft Engine Emissions in the Age of Climate Change by Jin Liu A thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2011 Faculty of Laws UCL 1 I, Jin Liu confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. _____________________________________ Jin Liu 2 Abstract Although the contribution of international civil aviation to climate change seems small (with a global share of just 3.5 percent of emissions of CO 2), the projected growth in air traffic means that it is highly significant. There is thus an urgent need to explore legal regulations for limiting and/or reducing the adverse impacts of aircraft emissions on the environment. This thesis examines the progress which has been made on international aviation emissions abatement and provides an analysis of the reasons for delay. It concludes that the contribution of aviation to climate change is a multi-scalar problem and as such neither conventional top-down international legal regimes, nor any single regulatory instrument can solve it. The research question for this thesis is how to break the deadlock of conventional legal approaches and overcome the barriers to international aviation greenhouse gas emissions abatement. New governance theory provides the theory within which the future of aviation emissions regulation has been explored. Drawing on the scholarly literature on new governance, this thesis argues for a multi-scalar regulatory architecture which simultaneously engages multi-level governance, and a multi-party and multi-instrument approach to the problem.

FANC later posted a statement on its website announcing that thousands “flaw indications” had been found during investigations in the Doel 3 and Tihange 2 nuclear reactor pressure vessels. The 'flaw indications' are in reality microscopic cracks.
