The report is an independent assessment of nuclear energy in the world. It discusses the decline in nuclear power generation and contradicts the attempts of the nuclear industry to make us believe that the world is seeing a nuclear renaissance. This is a matter of particular importance in the USA where the operating reactors are being closed for being economically unviable for the first time in 15 years.
