IAEA Finally Stops Hiding Bad Nuclear Numbers


IAEA Finally Stops Hiding Bad Nuclear Numbers

May 21 2013 Published by under Nuclear energy
I recall that I tried without success in February to find out how much nuclear energy was produced in 2012 from various nuclear lobby sites. Apparently it was more than they can manage to call up the less than 400 remaining electricity producing reactors and find out their numbers.
Now, finally, IAEA has found the time to do those phone calls. They just published numbers until 2012. Thanks to this tweet by Jan Berenek for the link.
The number for 2012 was 2346.19 TWh, a level last seen in 1998. It is down around 283 TWh compared to 2010.
