More then thirty years of debate, and the controversy remains as polarised as ever. This website (to be fair - whose maintainer is anti-nuclear) collects news about nuclear power in Europe, sorted by nuclear power plant, type of power plant, country etc.

By presenting different (media) angles on current nuclear issues, we hope to be able to cut out some spin, either pro or against, and to allow the reader to make up his or her own mind about today’s pro’s and con’s of nuclear power.

In the menu on the right you can select your country, the nuclear power plant in your neighbourhood, or your favorite company and read latest (most English) news about it.
