Investment needs for future adaptation measures in EU nuclear power plants and other electricity generation technologies due to effects of climate change

Description

The emphasis of this report is to present key preconditions for EU power plants (depending on technology) to operate successfully, to present the selected climate change and electricity scenarios for this study, to present the results of the consultation with EU power plant operators and to present a coherent risk assessment framework for analyzing the investments needed for power plants to adapt to future climate change effects.
