The atomic map of the world
The relative share of nuclear power generation of the world’s energy production is continually decreasing. Nevertheless, more than 18 months after the catastrophe in Fukushima there are more nuclear reactors planned than before the disaster. Apart from Germany, there are many countries that favor nuclear energy because of its advantages. A recent analysis by Arthur D. Little reveals: Currently there are 60 countries taking nuclear energy as a realistic option into account. In total this could lead to 560 additional nuclear reactors by 2030.
