18 August 2014, The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2014: http://www.worldnuclearreport.org/WNISR201... Citat: "... Another important contribution that The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2014 makes is to illustrate the clear trend of the declining share of nuclear energy in the world’s power production. ... The nuclear share of the world’s power generation declined steadily from a historic peak of 17.6 percent in 1996 [6] to 10.8 percent in 2013 [7]. ... Operating Cost Increases. In some countries (including France, Germany, the U.S. and Sweden), historically low inflation-adjusted operating costs—especially for major repairs—have escalated so rapidly that the average reactor’s operating cost is barely below, or even exceeds, the normal band of wholesale power prices. [] The largest nuclear operator in the world, the French state-controlled utility EDF experienced an income deficit of about €1.5 billion (US$2 billion) in 2012, because tariffs did not cover the running costs. According to the French Court of Accounts, the cost of generating nuclear power increased by 21 percent between 2010 and 2013, from 49.6 €/MWh to 59.8 €/MWh (US$67.8–81.7/MWh) , an increase of 16 percent in real terms). [] In Germany, operator E.ON decided to close one of its reactors seven months earlier than required by law because of projected income does not cover the costs. [] In Sweden, income from electricity sales for at least three reactors was below production costs in two of the past four years. In the U.S., utilities decided to retire at least five reactors that no longer cover operating costs, including two with operating licenses valid beyond 2030. [] One study identifies up to 38 U.S. units threatened by the same fate. [] In Belgium, operator Electrabel (GDF-Suez) lost its legal case against a nuclear fuel tax and wonders whether future operation of its seven plants is still worthwhile. ..."

Paris, March, 2014, The Status of the Nuclear Industry in the World – Dawn or Dusk?: http://www.aps.org/units/fps/newsletters/2... Citat: "... In 2012, for the first time, renewable sources provided more electricity than nuclear plants in Germany. The same happened in China, India and Japan. [] Thus three of the four largest economies in the world generated more power from wind, solar and biomass than from nuclear fission. [] In 2013, at least one more country joined the club, Spain, which generated more power with wind turbines alone than with any other energy source. ..."
