Abstract
There is much talk of a ‘nuclear renaissance’. What is motivating such expectations and what might such a renaissance look like? These are the questions to be tackled in Dr Nuttall’s presentation. He will argue that the main drivers for nuclear energy are those that drive all current major decisions in electricity generation; namely concerns for energy economics, energy security and climate change. The attributes of nuclear energy will be considered in such respects, but Dr Nuttall will argue that nuclear energy brings with it some additional considerations, some of which have proven very tricky for policy makers.
