Quantification of the Lifecycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Nuclear Power Generation Systems

Quantification of the Lifecycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Nuclear Power Generation Systems

This paper statistically quantifies the lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from six distinct reactor-based (boiling water reactor (BWR), pressurized water reactor (PWR), light water reactor (LWR), heavy-water-moderated reactor (HWR), gas-cooled reactor (GCR), fast breeder reactor (FBR)) nuclea...
