New NEA study explores the risks and benefits of nuclear energy 
With the publication of Risks and Benefits of Nuclear Energy, the NEA provides a useful new aid for decision makers. The study brings together authoritative information and illustrative data on how the risks and benefits of nuclear energy might be assessed in the light of sustainable development goals. More information is available at www.nea.fr/html/general/press/2007/2007-03.html. 

New nuclear energy data released
According to the latest official figures released by the NEA, total electricity generation in OECD countries rose to just over 9 867 TWh in 2006, about 0.5% above 2005. Nuclear power plants provided 23.1% of this electricity, as compared to 22.8% in 2005. Nuclear electricity generation in the OECD area provided 2 278 TWh in 2006, about 1.8% more than the previous year. More information is available at www.nea.fr/html/general/press/2007/2007-02.html.
