Le nucléaire n'est pas une énergie durable

Reclaim Finance argues that nuclear energy should be excluded from the European taxonomy because it fails to meet sustainability goals regarding waste management, pollution, and biodiversity. The document claims that nuclear power can hinder the deployment of renewable energy and that the taxonomy is a transparency tool rather than a mechanism that prevents state-funded nuclear investment.

• Nuclear energy is deemed incompatible with the European taxonomy's sustainability definition because it fails to meet objectives related to pollution control, the circular economy, and biodiversity protection.
• The sustainability of nuclear energy is compromised by the lack of viable solutions for radioactive waste that remains hazardous for hundreds of thousands of years, as well as the highly polluting nature of uranium mining.
• Nuclear power's reliance on large quantities of water for cooling systems raises concerns about its viability in a warming global climate.
• Referencing a study in Nature covering 123 countries over 25 years, the document states that energy systems heavily reliant on nuclear power tend to obstruct or slow the deployment of renewable energies and fail to achieve significant emission reductions.
• The European taxonomy is described as a transparency tool and a catalogue for objective investment justification; it does not inherently block nuclear financing, which remains a decision for individual states and is largely funded by public money.
