L’énergie nucléaire est une technologie complexe au passé controversé et qui suscite des interrogations. Dans le même temps, elle peut nous apporter des bienfaits considérables. Pour pouvoir apprécier les perspectives d’avenir de cette technologie, le public souhaite être éclairé sur toute une série de questions : • Dans quelle mesure l’énergie nucléaire est-elle sûre ? • L’énergie nucléaire est-elle compétitive sur le plan économique ? • Quelle contribution l’énergie nucléaire peut-elle apporter pour atteindre les objectifs de réduction des gaz à effet de serre ? • Que faire des déchets radioactifs ? • Le recours à l’énergie nucléaire augmente-t-il le risque de prolifération des armes nucléaires ? • Les ressources sont-elles suffisamment abondantes et sûres pour permettre une exploitation prolongée de l’énergie nucléaire ? • L’énergie nucléaire pourra-t-elle être mieux maîtrisée demain qu’aujourd’hui ? Cet ouvrage apporte des réponses factuelles et fondées à toutes ces questions. Conçu d’abord pour informer les responsables politiques, il intéressera aussi les dirigeants d’entreprise, les universitaires, les journalistes et le grand public.

Repositories for the disposal of radioactive waste generally rely on a multi-barrier system to isolate the waste from the biosphere. This multi-barrier system typically comprises the natural geological barrier provided by the repository host rock and an engineered barrier system (EBS). The EBS project being conducted by the NEA Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) seeks to clarify the role that an EBS can play in the overall safety case for a deep geological repository. It is in this context that the European Commission and the NEA have prepared the present report, which describes the state of the art for engineered barrier systems and provides a common basis of understanding from which to plan future programmes. It is based on answers to a questionnaire received from 13 countries and 17 organisations.

Meeting the growing demand for energy, and electricity in particular, while addressing the need to curb greenhouse gas emissions and to ensure security of energy supply, is one of the most difficult challenges facing the world’s economies. No single technology can respond to this challenge, and the solution which policy makers are seeking lies in the diversification of energy sources.  Although nuclear energy currently provides over 20% of electricity in the OECD area and does not emit any carbon dioxide during production, it continues to be seen by many as a controversial technology. Public concern remains over its safety and the management of radioactive waste, and financing such a capital-intensive technology is a complex issue. The role that nuclear power will play in the future depends on the answers to these questions, several of which are provided in this up-to-date review of the status of nuclear energy, as well as on the outcome of research and development on the nuclear fuel cycle and reactor technologies.
