1/4 Another dent in the credibility of @iaeaorg: Doubling of #nuclear capacity by 2050 requires 'concerted action', says IAEA.

2/4 With only 3 years hitting 10 new reactors to the grid in the last 30 years and the rest well under that, dreaming of 28 new large reactors from now until 2050, year on year, every year, seems a bit optimistic - even for concerted action.

3/4 Even when extending the lifetime of the entire current ageing fleet (just put the accompanying risk for more Fukushima-like catastrophes aside for a moment), it would require 15 new reactors per year, year on year...

4/4 Urgent #ClimateAction requires results fast. Not diversion with too expensive, too slow to deliver, too risky, too dirty (radioactive waste, anyone?) #nuclear technologies. A UN body that claims to be evidence based cannot afford this kind of pink sky propaganda.

Addendum: I stand corrected. @Edvard_Sequens informed me that where @W_Nuclear_News speaks of a government loan of 70%, in reality, the law foresees a loan for 100% of the construction costs.
