Research and Markets: Nuclear Power Industry in Europe: Porter's Five Forces Analysis

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8058ba/nuclear_power_indu) has announced the addition of the "Nuclear Power Industry in Europe: Porter's Five Forces Analysis" report to their offering.

“Nuclear Power Industry in Europe: Porter's Five Forces Analysis”

Nuclear power is a widely used source of power generation across Europe. In fact as of January 2012, there were 187 nuclear power plants in operation in Europe, with a total installed capacity of 162 GWe. Furthermore, 18 nuclear power plants were already under construction by the end of January 2012.

With France, Belgium, Russia, Ukraine, UK, and Sweden leading the number of nuclear power plants, the Fukushima nuclear disaster has had a huge impact on the nuclear power industry in Europe, particularly Germany. Following the disaster, Germany permanently shut down eight of its nuclear reactors and also resolved to shut down the remaining nuclear reactors by 2022. Nuclear power has also not found favor in Italy, Switzerland, and Spain, who have banned the construct ruction of any new nuclear reactors. While Belgium, a leader in nuclear power in Europe at the moment, is also considering phasing out of its nuclear power plants by 2015.

In this industry scenario, it remains to be seen in the coming years is whether or not Europe can survive without the large amount of power that is generated from nuclear power every year in many countries across the continent. With the debate raging on strong about the use and safety of nuclear power, alternative sources of energies such as clean coal, LNG, renewable resources, etc., have come to the front as European nations decide whether to opt for nuclear energy in its future energy mix or not.
