The site is used to store hundreds of cubic meters of liquid high level waste, thousands of tons of irradiated fuel, tens of tons of separated plutonium.

The Royal Decree 1349/2003 updates ENRESA's responsibilities, including processing, conditioning, removal and transport of nuclear waste, the establishment of a system for the long-term management of nuclear waste, and the management of financial resources. ENRESA, a public sector company, will soon be transformed from a Public Limited Company (S.A.) into a Public Business Entity (EPE). By doing so, the state tends to increase its control over the company and to simplify the organisational scheme.

Thanks also to the new contributing authors Tadahiro Katsuta and M.V. Ramana who managed to author pertinent sections, limited in size, on issues that would each have justified a book. A special thank you to Jonathon Porritt for his thoughtful and engaged foreword. A big chunk of the success of this project is due to its visibility through the graphic illustrations based on the project database designed and maintained by data engineer Julie Hazemann. Nina Schneider extended meticulous verification to background research that contributed a fair share to the result. Thank you both.

But nuclear power is rather in the dusk than in the dawn. Missing industrial capacities, skyrocketing costs for raw materials and new nuclear power plants, the dramatic skilled worker/manager shortage and a sceptical financial sector are the main problems of nuclear industry. And nuclear technology as saviour against global warming is no good either.

Reactor Status and Nuclear Programs • Startups and Shutdowns. Only three reactors started up in 2012, while six were shut down 10 and in 2013 up to 1 July, only one started up, while four shutdown decisions-all in the U.S.-were taken in the first half of 2013. 11 Three of those four units faced costly repairs, but one, Kewaunee, Wisconsin, was running well and had received a license renewal just two years ago to operate up to a total of 60 years; it simply became uneconomic to run. As of 1 July 2013, there were only two reactors operating in Japan and how many others will receive permission to restart and over what timeframe remains highly uncertain. • Newcomer Program Delays. Engagement in nuclear programs has been delayed by most of the potential newcomer countries, including Bangladesh,
