IEA assessment of nuclear 'impractical', says World Nuclear Association : Energy & Environment - World Nuclear News

IEA assessment of nuclear 'impractical', says World Nuclear Association : Energy & Environment - World Nuclear News: The International Energy Agency's Net Zero Emissions (NZE) scenario puts too much faith in technologies that are "uncertain, untested or unreliable" and fails to reflect both the size and scope of the contribution that nuclear technologies could make, World Nuclear Association said today. "Given that more than 60% of the world's electricity is currently generated by fossil fuels, if we are to eliminate them in less than 30 years, the IEA's assessment of the role of nuclear is highly impractical," it said.
