Today the World Nuclear Industry Status Report will be published! We European Greens have supported this report financially, so that the public is sufficiently informed about the global machinations of the #nuclear industry! Checkout the statistics and go through the #threat: 
Let's start with the most worrying figure: The average age of the global #reactor fleet has now risen to 31 years. Many of the currently active reactors were built to run for 30 years but were extended. The older the nuclear fleet, the greater the risk of disaster
The report, which will appear on worldnuclearreport.org today, lists 416 active reactors, 8 more than in 2020. As for the share of nuclear power in the global electricity market, the report sees no change, as in previous years: The share is stagnant at about 10%.
Unfortunately, nuclear power plants are still being built in 2021: Of the 53 currently under construction worldwide, 3 are in the #EU, which sounds good at first, but several European countries have already taken steps to be able to build more nuclear power plants.
The nuclear energy is no solution for the #energy problems of humans, it causes only more problems for our planet, and even without an accident, the dismantling of the uranium deposits and the not solved final storage problem of the #radioactive #wastes pose huge risks!
Therefore, the EU must leave this path for good and I very much welcome that the Austrian Climate Minister Leonore Gewessler presented a new study last week which clearly shows that under no circumstances nuclear energy should be given the label "green"
