The Belgium’s nuclear policy. After the Japan crisis all the world woke up about the nuclear activity. Althoug in Belgium we do not suffer from possible radioactive fallout. At 10.000 km from Japan experts, politicians and everyone who have their say speak about the nuclear activity. In belgium they are 7 reactors : 3 in Tihange en 4 in Doel (nearly anvers). They are also 2 centres of nuclear research at Mol and Fleurus. But they are also 3 nuclear central in France nearly the border en 1 in Netherlands

worldwide in 2012. As the global nuclear industry leader, AREVA’s unique integrated offer to utilities covers every stage of the fuel cycle, nuclear reactor design and construction, and related services. AREVA is a world-leading company in nuclear energy and the number 3 for the transmission and the distribution of electricity around the world (behind ABB and Siemens groups) It is the only company with a presence in each industrial activity linked to nuclear energy: mining, chemistry, enrichment

should be produced. In the 1970’s France made a decision to heavily rely on nuclear energy for its needs. It is now the country in the world that uses the most nuclear energy. This type of production remains a very controversial subject and a hot topic. Many oppose it and address its major flaws. This paper will try to assess the pros and cons of nuclear energy, taking for basis of study France, its history with nuclear power plants, what can be learned from it and the questions behind construction

la géothermie, et enfin l'éolien Bresil et russie , bric Russia and Brazil signed a memorandum of cooperation on peaceful uses of nuclear energy on Tuesday (July 21), Russian media reported. The pact calls for the development of uranium prospecting technology and the design of new reactors, as well as the design and construction of nuclear research reactors.

power from the high temperatures below the Earth's surface. Hydroelectric power has been used to do work throughout history. Nuclear fission is being used in nuclear power plants to generate substantial amounts of power. However, there are dangers to using it and it won't be possible to use it forever. Nuclear fusion is an alternative energy source of tremendous potential. Nuclear power is a good way to produce energy but it has some weaknesses. If properly developed, it could solve all of the world's

IRAN: NUCLEAR CRISIS AND PERSIAN TURNEMANTS Niki PAPADOPOULOU Geopolitics IRAN: NUCLEAR CRISIS AND PERSIAN TURNEMANTS Because of the immense military power she can offer, the political control of nuclear weapon is a key issue for the geopolitical negotiations. The entry of Iran to the rank of nuclear power is a nightmare for a lot of western countries. Instability in the Middle East, the higher oil price, the persistent terrorist risks: the Iranian nuclear crisis is a new factor of tension

* INTRODUCTION General Electric (GE) is a global technology, infrastructure, media and financial services company. GE has grown through five key business segments, namely capital finance, technology infrastructure, energy infrastructure, media and entertainment, and consumer and industrial. In 2009, the company's 'Capital Finance' segment, represented $49,601 millions, ie a decrease of 24.45% over 2008. Another main sector is Technology Infrastructure which contributed 27.1% of total GE's revenues

GREENPEACE Nuclear power - the problems avance plusieurs arguments parmis lesquels new nuclear power stations would not stop climate change. new investment in nuclear power will block development of renewable energy, the real solutions to climate change. highly radioactive waste will remain dangerous for up to a million years. many reactors are built on coastal sites vulnerable to the impacts of sea level rise, including flooding and erosion. The construction and generating costs of nuclear power
