Mycle Schneider, Antony Froggatt, et al. in 2014 provided an overview of nuclear power plant data, including information on operation, production and construction. This WNISR assesses the status of new-build programs in current nuclear countries as well as in potential newcomer countries. A 20-page chapter on nuclear economics looks at the rapidly changing market conditions for nuclear power plants, whether operating, under construction, or in the planning stage.Reactor vendor strategies and the Hinkley Point C Deal are analyzed in particular.
The performance on financial markets of major utilities is documented. The WNISR of 2013 featured for the first time a Fukushima Status Report that triggered widespread media and analyst attention. The 2014 edition entirely updates that Fukushima chapter. The Nuclear Power vs. Renewable Energy chapter that provides comparative data on investment, capacity, and generation has been greatly extended by a section on system issues. How does nuclear power perform in systems with high renewable energy share. Is this the end of traditional baseload peak-load concepts.
Finally, the 45-page Annex 1 provides a country-by-country overview of all 31 countries operating nuclear power plants, with extended Focus sections on China, Japan, and the United States.
