Report on Global Nuclear Power Industry

Dec. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Nuclear power is generated using Uranium, which is a metal mined in various parts of the world. Presently, nuclear power produces around 15% of the world's energy needs, and produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel, without the pollution that you'd get from burning fossil fuels.

The position of nuclear energy in the world is fairly stable. In Asia and Russia intensive investment in new capacity is taking place, while in the United States, the focus is on life extension of existing nuclear power plants. In Europe, new nuclear power plants are being built in Finland, France and Romania.

Nuclear energy will continue to have an important role in the production of electricity in the world. The report – Global Nuclear Power Industry – by Aruvian's R'search, explores the importance of nuclear power in today’s world. The report looks at the basics of the nuclear industry, that is, how a plant works, analyzing and understanding the fuel cycle, the various components which are involved in the working of a nuclear power plant, and much more. Economics, issues and barriers, regulatory incentives, tax incentives, and other such factors are also explored in-depth in this report. Aruvian’s offering includes a complete analysis of each country which has nuclear power, countries which are making news today due to their nuclear power status, and companies and utilities around the world which are providing people with their power needs from nuclear power. The report is a comprehensive A to Z guide on the global nuclear power industry.
