Fuel Cycles and Life Cycles from All Energy Technologies

The European Union (EU) is facing the problem of a strongly increasing external dependence for energy. In its quest to address the issue of Security of Energy Supply along all the process from the primary energy source to the final product (heat or electricity), the European Commission (EC) must not only secure the provision of uninterrupted availability of energy products on the market, but also aim at minimising the safety risks to human health and the environment related to the use of different energy technologies for the generation and distribution of energy.
