| Summary/Abstract |
THE FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE caused to the Japanese economy by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami has yet to be assessed, but experts say that it could be the worst in the country's history.
Hundreds of plants and factories across Japan, including Toyota and Nissan car factories, were shut down as a result of damage or power outages. Electricity suppliers were obliged to impose rolling blackouts throughout the country because they could not meet demand. Thousands of homes were destroyed, and about 2 million people were left without electricity and water. AIR Worldwide, a U.S.-based consulting group, predicted on March 13 that insured property losses from the earthquake alone would range from $15 billion to $35 billion.

| Summary/Abstract |
Although many new nuclear power plant (NPP) projects, such as the addition of a new reactor, have been proposed at the locations of existing nuclear installations, little attention has been given to research on the acceptance of such rebuilding projects by local residents living near the existing NPPs. The present study develops a theoretical model that examines the influences of environmental concern, place attachment, perceived benefit, and perceived risk on local acceptance of rebuilding NPPs. The study also divides perceived benefit into two dimensions, namely, perceived general benefit and perceived local benefit. Using data from an online questionnaire-based survey in China, the results indicate that for the surveyed local residents, rebuilding acceptance is positively influenced by perceived local benefit and perceived general benefit but is negatively affected by perceived risk. Perceived local benefit is the dominant factor influencing local rebuilding acceptance. Contrary to expectations, environmental concern positively affects the perceived benefit, which in turn positively affects local rebuilding acceptance. Moreover, place attachment positively affects the perceived benefit and negatively affects the perceived risk, which in turn positively affects local rebuilding acceptance. Based on these findi

| Summary/Abstract |
To raise public acceptance of new energy policies, promoting the fairness of the outcomes and of the decision-making procedure has been suggested. Very few studies have examined the role of fairness in public acceptance of rebuilding nuclear power plants. Therefore, using a large mail survey, we investigated the public's acceptance of the decision to rebuild nuclear power plants in Switzerland by 2020. The study examined the influence of procedural fairness and outcome fairness on the acceptance of this decision, as well as other factors such as risk perception and benefit perception. Additionally, we investigated the moderating influence of general attitudes towards nuclear power on the relation between fairness and decision acceptance. Results indicated that outcome fairness strongly increased decision acceptance, along with general attitudes towards nuclear power and perceived economic benefits. Procedural fairness had only a small impact on decision acceptance. The influence of fairness on decision acceptance did not seem to depend on general nuclear attitudes. Our findings imply that, in the case of rebuilding nuclear power plants, perceived benefits and outcome fairness are important determinants of acceptance of the decision, while procedural fairness only has a limited impact.

| Summary/Abstract |
Recently, the estimation of accident costs within the social costs of nuclear power plants (NPPs) has garnered substantial interest. In particular, the risk aversion behavior of the public toward an NPP accident is considered an important factor when integrating risk aversion into NPP accident cost. In this study, an integrated framework for the external cost assessment of NPP accident that measures the value of statistical life (VSL) and the relative risk aversion (RRA) coefficient for NPP accident based on an individual-level survey is proposed. To derive the willingness to pay and the RRA coefficient for NPP accident risks, a survey was conducted on a sample of 1550 individuals in Korea. The estimation obtained a mean VSL of USD 2.78 million and an RRA coefficient of 1.315. Based on the estimation results in which various cost factors were considered, a multiplication factor of 5.16 and an external cost of NPP accidents of 4.39E−03 USD-cents/kW h were estimated. This study is expected to provide insight to energy policy decision-makers on analyzing the economic validity of NPP compared to other energy sources by reflecting the estimated external cost of NPP accident into the unit electricity generation cost of NPP.

| Summary/Abstract |
Despite the threat of nuclear disasters, Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) are prominent and provide approximately 5.7 % of the world’s energy and 13% of the world’s electricity. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the nuclear industry require actively seeking information on new hazards and incorporating modern risk concepts into safety requirements, and examine off-site responses. India cannot be an exception to this requirement.

| Summary/Abstract |
Korea has been one of the most aggressive countries pursuing nuclear power expansion, ranking in the top five nations globally for the installation capacity of nuclear power plants, nuclear power generation, and the number of reactors in operation. Even after the Fukushima accident, the Korean government has made no policy changes in regards to nuclear power, and public support for nuclear power remains relatively high. This study focuses on the role of the mass media in representing the Korean government's benefit-oriented nuclear frame and the persistence of public support in the country for nuclear power. The study further aims to answer the following questions: What kind of frame was mobilized by the mass media? What kinds of speakers were chosen by the media to represent a particular side to the issue? A total of three conservative, progressive, and business newspapers were analyzed. The benefits and/or risks of nuclear power in the context of climate change were major topics in the three newspapers. The benefit and risk frame constructed in these three newspapers was characterized as "slightly risky but significantly beneficial" in the conservative Chosun Daily and MK Business and "seemingly beneficial but intrinsically risky" in the progressive Hankyoreh. Different frames were contested in the three newspapers; however, because the influential power of Korean progressive newspapers is weak, arguments supporting the growth and benefits of nuclear power have become pervasive in Korea.

| Summary/Abstract |
China, the world's largest electricity consumer, has strong motivations to deploy nuclear power due to increasing electricity demand and environmental concerns. However, there are social, institutional, and technical barriers to future nuclear expansion. This paper provides an updated assessment of nuclear energy potential in China with analyses at both national and provincial levels and compares results with previous studies. It integrates unit-level information into integrated assessment modelling and scenarios and considers the interactions among different socioeconomic pathways, technology options, climate policies, and social/political concerns on inland siting. Among all factors explored, climate policies have the most significant impact on accelerating nuclear technology deployment. Inland siting of nuclear power plants increases total capacity, but the impact is limited without climate policy. The share of annual nuclear generation across scenarios/studies is unlikely to rise above 11% by 2030 and 30% by 2050 of total Chinese electricity generation. A dramatic increase in total nuclear power generation in China – around 4000 TWh of nuclear generation by 2050 – is only possible in scenarios where China sees electricity demand increase substantially, sticks to and tightens its current Paris Accord commitments, achieves low costs of nuclear technologies, and allows inland siting of nuclear power plants.

| Summary/Abstract |
PARIS-Extremophiles thrive in the bubbling acidic springs of Yellowstone, in ocean beds miles below the sea surface, and in the radioactive pools of nuclear power plants. They flourish in places so hostile that any other living being would be crushed, dissolved, or melted within seconds. These tiny organisms were discovered during the second half of the 20th century, and today they happen to be Patrick Forterre's passion. Professor Forterre works at the Pasteur Institute, named after Louis Pasteur, the 19th century French scientist who fathered what we now call microbiology and who discovered, among other breakthroughs, the vaccines for anthrax and rabies and the pasteurization process.
