发展核能与减少温室气体排放

为应对全球气候变化的挑战，发展低碳经济已成为国际共识。根据核能的特点，分析了核电燃料链的温室气体排放及其与其他能源链的比较，指出核能是各种能源中温室气体排放量最小的发电方式。介绍了世界主要核电国家发展核能减排温室气体状况，分析了我国发展核电的温室气体减排效益，提出积极发展核能是我国构建低碳型能源结构、应对气候变化的合理有效选择。

Nuclear Power Development for Greenhouse Gases Emission Reduction Under Climate Change

It is a consensus of international society to promote the development of low carbon economy in order to face the challenges of climate change. According to the features of nuclear energy, the greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions of nuclear energy chain and other energy chains are compared and analyzed, and the results indicate that the GHGs emission of nuclear power chain is the least in all types of power generation. The status of nuclear power development and GHGs emission reduction in major nuclear power countries of the world is presented, and the potential benefits of GHGs emission reduction by developing nuclear power in China are also analyzed. Active nuclear power development is one of the reasonable choices for constructing the low-carbon energy structure and for addressing climate change in China.
