Samenvatting:
The problem of global climate change will be solved by meeting stringent,long-term policy targets that are much more ambitious than the short-term,
greenhouse gas emission reductions that some countries currently attempt
to reach. The large-scale implementation of carbon-free technologies
constitutes one of the measures essential to realize the mitigation
of global warming. Nuclear power generation involves no carbon dioxide
emissions, but the current use of nuclear energy cannot be considered
sustainable. However, in attempting to achieve sustainable development
- and to establish transition paths towards sustainable energy systems
in particular - nuclear energy might, for the moment, need to remain
a component of the global energy mix.
