Abstract: his report gives a comprehensive assessment of the hazards of operational reactors, new “evolutionary” designs and future reactor concepts. It also addresses the risks associated with the management of spent nuclear fuel. The first part of the report describes the characteristics and inherent flaws of the main reactor designs in operation today; the second part assesses the risks associated to new designs; the third part the “ageing” of operational reactors; the fourth part the terrorist threat to nuclear power and the fifth and final part the risks associated with climate change impacts – such as flooding – on nuclear power.The main conclusions are:
