Despite the endless rhetoric about a 'nuclear renaissance', there are fewer power reactors today than there were a decade ago, writes Jim Green.

And with over 200 reactor shut-downs due by 2040, the industry will have to run very hard indeed just to stay put.

The only real growth area is decommissioning, but that too has a problem: where's the money to pay for it?
