On July 5 and 6, the Voices of Nuclear demonstrated in Strasbourg to support the final vote of the European Parliament which validated the integration of nuclear energy in the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities. We use it as the opportunity to look back at the saga of taxonomy, and to the long-term contribution of…

Thank you to everyone who made the trip to Strasbourg on July 5th and 6th to support the integration of nuclear into the EU taxonomy! This taxonomy is imperfect. Many conditions leaving room for interpretation are imposed on nuclear power and risk limiting its potential to substitute massively for fossil fuels in Europe if they…

 Don’t hesitate to have fun and dance with our enclosure, you will love our climate, you will love the world we offer. Myrto Tripathi, President of the Voices Another article that appeared in the local Strasbourg press! This time our manifestation (and that of our adversaries) is described in more detail. We invite you to…

The European Parliament rejected the motion to oppose the Delegated Act to the Taxonomy.

Because there is more to life than EPRs, and because industrial heat will have to be decarbonized in all its uses, let’s take a look at the new start-ups! On February 10, the President confirmed an envelope of one billion euros to support the development of small modular nuclear reactors (SMR) through calls for projects.…

“We don’t know how to dismantle nuclear power plants”We still hear this statement regularly, in comments and media statements, without being denied. And yet … It’s false. Yes, we know how to do it in France: the dismantling of Chooz A, a pressurized water reactor (PWR) type like the rest of the French fleet in…

The Voices of Nuclear, a citizen association, supports the Cigeo project for the geological disposal of the most dangerous radioactive waste, the result of 30 years of studies that have resulted in a safe project that will allow the nuclear industry to continue to make a major contribution to the energy supply of France and…

All concerned by global warming, all concerned by the quality of the air, the necessary move away from imported fossil gas, the security of the electricity supply; all concerned by the public consultation on the authorization to operate the Flamanville EPR. In a context of increasing need to electrify transport and heating, this new major…

Robust, sovereign, sustainable, low carbon: a case study for future energy mix The member states of the European Union have made very different energy policy choices in the past, and address the energy transition, today, each with a specific eye. If one adds the diversity of their contexts and needs, each country becomes a real-life experiment of…

The Voices attended the 27th Conference on Climate Change of the UNFCCC After two weeks spent in Sharm El-Sheik, it is time for us to review the main elements of this COP and summarize the actions and feelings of our members on site.  What was at stake for the COP 27?  The conference took place…

“In the EU electricity mix that is still 40% fossil, this reduction of the nuclear capacity cannot therefore be done without benefiting hydrocarbons and, for the most part, coal and gas.” Tristan Kamin, administrator of the Voices, in La Tribune “However in Germany, France, Sweden but also in Belgium or #pain, none of the recent…

A jump on the edge of abyss? According to the agreement of the Belgian government in place, the firm decision to phase out nuclear power must be taken on Tuesday, November 30, 2021. It should be remembered that this nuclear exit will essentially consist of replacing a low-carbon electricity production that can be controlled by…

Nuclear energy – China does not “put all its eggs in one basket” 🧺 #GenIV In addition to the launch of conventional pressurized water reactors (Generation III) in series, it is also testing several Generation IV technologies in parallel. Fourth generation HTR-PM high temperature gas nuclear reactors, units 1 and 2 at the Shidaowan site,…

China plans to build at least 150 new nuclear reactors over the next 15 years, more than the rest of the world in 35 years. 10 new reactors per year, on average. For reference, the N2 and N03 scenarios recently published by RTE – those which least reduce the share of nuclear power in the…

This letter is not made to give you news of the association (yet rich but from which we hope you have benefited elsewhere), but to discreetly place in your luggage something to open your heart, mind and more generally your chakras, to the diversity of intellectual and artistic production around nuclear energy which, otherwise, would…

As the dire need for more, much more, low-carbon power finally starts to sink into the minds of people and impact the grids of world economies, a wealth of scenarios, prospective plans and ambitious projections as to the fundamental nature and the sheer volume of energy production arise from all sides. The Voices very much…

The Saga of the European Taxonomy. Position of the Voices on the draft delegated act concerning nuclear energy and gas The battle over the inclusion of nuclear power and gas in the EU Taxonomy of sustainable investments is not only unabated but seems to be getting more intense. A good summary of the postures can…

Aaaaaaah Christmas! The countdown, the lights, the music, the decorations, the atmosphere, the preparations…, the LETTER… and Christmas shopping. All this delicious waiting. So well-staged that we might almost forget about the main thing – hey, wait a minute: we still haven’t gotten a gift. Does that ring a bell? It does for us. We had…

Last month, on 19 November 2022, the delegation of the Voices of Nuclear travelled to Berlin to support the foundation of the German branch of the Voices – Stimmen der Kernenergie ! The creation of the new organisation has been announced during the Stand Up for Nuclear Berlin organised by our friends from Nuklearia. The…
