摘要：
The paper reviews the need for clean, safe, and reliable energy and highlights the current energy review being undertaken by the UK government. Concern is expressed at the increasing reliance being placed on imported gas and the risk to security of supply. BNFL believe that nuclear power provides safe, clean and secure electricity and should be a key component of future sustainable energy supply strategies. An overview of new designs, the AP1000 and the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor, are provided with an explanation of the potential benefits each can offer developed and developing countries. Reviews of progress made in the US and Finland on waste disposal are highlighted. Finally the paper discusses holy the nuclear industry has developed from safe to sustainable over its fifty-year history.
