The worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl still is echoing loudly through the industry, less than a year and a half after the earthquake and tsunami did their work on the Fukushima plant. But a biennial report on uranium resources and nuclear development thinks that 20 years hence, those echoes will have faded. According to the UN's Nuclear Energy Agency and the International Atomic Energy Agency nuclear power will expand between 44 and 99 percent by 2035 , with a total added capacity between 165 and 371 gigawatts. To be sure, some countries, notably Germany, which has pledged to shut down all of its 17 reactors by 2022 , are headed in the opposite direction. Even if they follow through, however, this might not make a dent in the industry overall growth. The report, known informally as the Red Book, predicts nuclear will expand between 125 and 185 percent in East Asia, wi...

Really? UN agency and IAEA claim @fukushima just a "speed bump" on road to rapid #nuclear expansion. [link] HT @newsbeagle
