World Nuclear Industry Status Report
Essential News Updates
The annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report is the independent assessment of nuclear developments in the world. Famous US-based energy thinker Amory Lovins called it a "vital public service" and well-known Indian journalist Praful Bidwai values the publication as the "most reliable, strikingly original, comprehensive and penetrating assessment of the global nuclear industry". The frequent updates to the report that we present hereunder cover essential news on reactor cost estimates, construction, startups, shutdowns as well as major program decisions and policy orientations. The World Nuclear Industry Status Report is a Mycle Schneider Consulting Project and the Essential News clips are prepared by the same team that works on the annual publication.
