Scientific Assessment - Nuclear energy

This scientific assessment serves as the basis for a materials research roadmap for the nuclear fission technology, itself an integral element of an overall "Materials Roadmap Enabling Low Carbon Technologies", a Commission Staff Working Document published in December 2011. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art and future challenges for energy technology-related materials and the needs for research activities to support the development of nuclear fission technology both for the 2020 and the 2050 market horizons.

Highlights

SETIS LIBRARY: TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION SHEETS: For a complete overview of all low-carbon energy technologies, read or download the SETIS Technology Information Sheets. They provide a snapshot of each technology’s installed capacity, ongoing R&D, barriers, needs, a ‘fact file’, infographics and more.

Announcement: Download the 2011 Capacities Map report, which provides an estimate of the current corporate and public research and development (R&D) investments in wind, PV and CSP in the EU-27.
