Germany's abrupt change in nuclear policy has put a dent of €1.3 billion ($1.7 billion) in RWE's results for FY2011. It also boosted power prices and raised carbon dioxide emissions, the company said in its annual report to shareholders.
American safety regulators gave the go-ahead today for the construction of two new nuclear power reactors.ÌýThe vote by the five-member commission brought to an end a regulatory process lasting almost four years that confirmed the safety of building two Westinghouse AP1000 reactors at the Vogtle site in Georgia.

Spain's nuclear regulator has ruled that the Garoña nuclear power plant is safe to operate beyond its current licence's arbitrarily imposed expiry date, while Canadian regulators have agreed to a licence extension and restart permission for Point Lepreau following major refurbishment.%2048x55.jpg "Antares (Areva) 48x55")
An ArevaÌýprismaticÌýsteam-cycle high-temperature gas-cooled reactorÌýconcept has been selected by the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) Industry Alliance as the optimum design for next generation nuclear power plants. In addition to generating electricity, these modular plants could produce process heat for use by industry._615x160.jpg)
Following an 18-month review, the French nuclear safety regulator has given its preliminary approval of the safety options for the Atmea1 reactor design. The decision marks an important step to demonstrate the licensability of the 'mid sized' pressurized water reactor..jpg "Berkeley - aerial - 48x64")
A significant part of the land at both the Oldbury and Berkeley nuclear power plant sites in the UK can now be used for other purposes following the decision by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority to release the land for new development.
