This is highly misleading if not false. The best available evidence suggests […]

Climate change is exposing nuclear power’s reliability problem

For nuclear power plants to be reliable, they need operating conditions to be stable. With climate change intensifying by the year, one cannot expect predictability, control, and stability.
