Veille 2.1

Ce membre du gouvernement chargé du patrimoine, élu d’extrême droite, a été suspendu «jusqu’à nouvel ordre» de toute réunion gouvernementale par Nétanyahou, selon la presse israélienne.

There has been a strong push to promote increased investments in new nuclear power as a strategy to decarbonize economies, especially in the European Union (EU) and the United States (US). The evidence base for these initiatives is poor. Investments in new nuclear power plants are bad for the climate due to high costs and long construction times. Given the urgency of climate change mitigation, which requires reducing emissions from the EU electricity grid to almost zero in the 2030s (Pietzcker et al.1), preference should be given to the cheapest technology that can be deployed fastest. On both costs and speed, renewable energy sources beat nuclear. Every euro invested in new nuclear plants thus delays decarbonization compared to investments in renewable power. In a decarbonizing world, delays increase CO2 emissions. Our thoughts focus on new nuclear power plants (not phasing out existing plants) in the US and Europe. In Europe, new nuclear power plants are planned or seriously discussed in France, Czechia, Hu

Sweden formally renounces EU net zero roadmap championed by the likes of Germany.

Les Etats-Unis ont qualifié la décision russe de « très décevante et irresponsable ». Le traité signé en 2010 est le dernier accord bilatéral du genre liant Moscou et Washington.

Dans son discours du 21 février, le président russe a annoncé que Moscou interromprait sa participation au dernier accord majeur sur les armes atomiques avec Washington. Entamée il y a cinquante ans, l’ère de la limitation des armes nucléaires “touche peut-être à sa fin”.

Le président Poutine a annoncé dans un discours, ce mardi, suspendre la participation de la Russie au traité de désarmement nucléaire New Start. De quoi s’agit-il ?

La diplomatie russe a annoncé, lundi, la suspension des inspections américaines prévues sur les sites militaires russes dans le cadre du traité New Start. Sont notamment concernées par cette décision des bases de lancement de missiles, ainsi que des bases aériennes et navales où sont déployés des missiles nucléaires russes.

France’s troubled nuclear fleet a bigger problem for Europe than Russia gas Giles Parkinson 5 August 2022 44 frederic-paulussen-LWnD8U2OReU-unsplash - optimised nuclear 669 Shares Share 669 Tweet Before Peter Dutton’s Coalition charge off into yet another inquiry into the merits of nuclear power, they might want to take a closer look at what’s happening in Europe, where the failure of France’s huge nuclear power plant fleet is causing bigger problems for EU power supplies than Russia’s withheld gas supply. France has been delivering just a fraction of its energy production potential in recent months, and overnight the situation got worse when French power producer EDF announced another three power plants would curtail output because of rising temperatures. Rivers have become too hot in the latest heatwave to be used to cool the reactors. The majority of France’s 56 nuclear reactors are currently throttled down or taken offline due to a combination of scheduled maintenance, erosion damage (worryingly, mostly a

The U.N. nuclear chief warned that Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine “is completely out of control” and issued an urgent plea to Russia and Ukraine to quickly allow experts to visit the sprawling complex to stabilize the situation and avoid a nuclear accident. Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press that the situation is getting more perilous every day at the Zaporizhzhia plant in the southeastern city of Enerhodar, which Russian troops seized in early March, soon after their Feb. 24. invasion of Ukraine. “Every principle of nuclear safety has been violated” at the plant, he said. “What is at stake is extremely serious and extremely grave and dangerous.”

While 32 countries generate atomic energy, nine have nuclear weapons and seven countries have both.

Le 5 février prochain, le traité New START [1] de contrôle des armements nucléaires stratégiques (portée supérieure à 5.500 km)  entre les Etats-Unis et la Russie doit expirer. Il fut signé par Obama et Medvedev en 2010 et ratifié le 5 février 2011.
