there is no science-based evidence that nuclear energy does more harm to human health or to the environment than other electricity production technologies already included in the EU Taxonomy as activities supporting climate change mitigation “.

“Nuclear power is one of the most promising approaches for efficient, massive and CO2-free hydrogen production,” said Mikhail Chudakov, IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Nuclear Energy. “High temperature gas cooled reactors are considered to be the most suitable reactor type for nuclear hydrogen production.”

The figure of 65% support for nuclear represents a significant jump on the previous level of 59% in the second quarter of this year.
