6 We will go nuclear in the long term CERN -- development of Nuclear fusion Solar

7 NEW CONVENTIONAL GENERATING CAPACITY COST - APPROX. £2 BILLION TIME - 10 TO 15 YEARS NUCLEAR WASTE PROBLEM Source: TVO Nuclear Service

8 Setting the context Andrew Smith London Analytics Ltd Presentations Dr Russell Hand Michael Bailey Sean Morris John Grant Discussion moderator David Garlovsky

9 Bridging the Energy Gap Around 30% of today's electrical power generating plant are expected to close by 2020 some due to reaching the end of their working lives and others due to the Large Combustion Plant Directive, when they will close because of economic considerations or opt for limit life derogation. Existing plant will be capped. Increased demand for electricity.

10 Micro-Combined Heat & Power UK – 18 million gas boilers that are replaced at a rate of 6% a year, could have over two million units in place by 2010, representing a capacity of around 2.4 GW Larger market in Germany 50 GW could be installed in Europe by 2020

11 Nuclear power station Nuclear power provides 16% of the World's electricity supply [WNA 2005] France generates 78% of its electricity from nuclear from 58 reactors.

12 Decision making “Competition forces everyone to overstate their case and conceal uncomfortable facts.” Fuel’s Paradise -- Energy Options for Britain Peter Chapman 1975

13 Nuclear plants have operated safely with notable exceptions:- Windscale 8th October, 1957 escape of radioactive iodine along with other isotopes such as plutonium, caesium and the highly toxic polonium. Three mile island 28th March, 1979 A cooling malfunction caused part of the core to melt in the # 2 reactor at Three Mile Island in USA. The reactor was destroyed. Chernobyl 26 April, 1986 Plant operators undertook unauthorised tests. Russian reactor did not have a containment vessel. Japan (Monju fast-breeder reactor) November, 1995 (Tokaimura) March, 1997 & 1999
