An increasing number of EU-Member States considers nuclear energy 143 reactors in the EU out of a total worldwide of 436 First source of electricity (~30%) Largest contributor (70%) of low CO2 power An industrial sector where the EU benefits from a clear competitive advantage (reactors and cycle) Nuclear energy in the EU UK Target : 10 GWe in 2020 France Flamanville 3 (EPR TM ) in construction Penly: 2 nd EPR TM by 2017 3 rd EPR TM proposed Italy Target: up to 10 reactors by 2030 JV EDF-Enel for the construction of at least 4 EPRs TM Finland Olkiluoto 3 (EPR TM ) in construction Up to 3 additional reactors by 2020 Poland Target: 6 reactors 15 Member States operate nuclear plants 4 Member States are developing a nuclear program Page 4 / 35

Nuclear Power is important in Germany 17 NPPs in operation, 21,457 MW installed capacity Most important energy source for electricity generation: 22,3 % nuclear share in 2008 and no. 1 in the base load electricity production (ca. 50 %) Stands for about 40,000 jobs in the nuclear industry and 110,000 in other industries Avoids about 160 million tons of CO 2 as much as the cars emit every year Page 6 / 35

Angela Merkel at the 50th Anniversary of German Atomic Forum Chancellor Merkel s speech at the 50th Anniversary of the German Atomic Forum on July 1st, 2009: Germany has always set itself apart by the fact that it has developed the most modern nuclear power plants, in close cooperation with France. Therefore, I am pleased that we have French guests among us today. We have also developed the best reactors in the world, when I think of the EPR TM reactor. *Anne Lauvergeon has attended!
